Opis

This provocative study of anti-doping regimes in global sport argues that the current system is at a critical historical juncture. Reviewing the recent history of anti-doping, it highlights serious problems within the World Anti-Doping Agency and warns that we could be facing the collapse of anti-doping, both as a policy and an ideology.
