Book excerpt: The issue of doping has been the most widely discussed problem in sports ethics and is one of the most prominent issues across sports studies, the sports sciences and their constituent disciplines. This book adds uniquely to that catalogue of discourses by focusing on extant anti-doping policy and doping practices from a range of multi-disciplinary perspectives (specifically ethical, legal, and social scientific). Doping and Anti Doping Policy in Sport offers an important critique of contemporary anti-doping policy and should be essential reading for any advanced student, researcher or policy maker with an interest in this vital issue.
