And should doping always be regarded as cheating, or do today?s anti-doping measures go too far? Drawing on case studies from the early twentieth century to the present day, Doping: A Sporting History explores why the current anti-doping system looks as it does, charting its origins to the founding of the modern Olympic Games. From interwar notions of sporting purity to the post-war stimulant crisis, what seemed an easily resolvable problem soon became an impossible challenge as pharmacology improved, the policy system stuttered, and Cold War politics allowed doping to flourish. The late twentieth century saw the creation of the World Anti-Doping Agency, but has the intensity of these global measures led to unintended harms? From the cyclist Tommy Simpson, who died in 1967 on Mont Ventoux with amphetamines in his jersey, to Team Russia?s expulsion from the 2018 Winter Olympics, Doping: A Sporting History is a gripping, provocative account that ultimately proposes a new approach: one for the inclusion and protection of athletes themselves. 606 $aDoping in sports$xHistory 606 $aAthletes$xDrug use$xHistory 606 $aSports$xCorrupt practices 615 0$aDoping in sports$xHistory. 615 0$aAthletes$xDrug use$xHistory. 615 0$aSports$xCorrupt practices. 676 $a362.29088796 700 $aHenning$b April$01361289 701 $aDimeo$b Paul$f1971-$01536490 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795725303321 996 $aDoping$93785287 997 $aUNINA
