Thoroughly updated in light of the latest World Anti-Doping Code and taking into account the latest regulations, procedures and landmark cases, this 8th edition explores the science behind drug use in sport, as well as its ethical, social, political and administrative context.
Introducing an increased focus on athletes with specific needs and on corrupt doping practices, the book covers key topics including:
- an evaluation of the prevalence of doping in sport;
- the latest doping control regulations stipulated by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA);
- the science and side effects of each major class of drug used in sport;
