Performance, Health, and Excellence - An Ethical Examination of Anti-Doping Policies and Practices

Is using performance-enhancing substances and methods in sport morally legitimate? By analyzing the ethical foundations of the World Anti-Doping Agency’s core principles--performance enhancement, health, and the spirit of sport--this book offers a clear framework for understanding why anti-doping rules exist and when they might require revision. It provides readers, particularly sport administrators, with conceptual tools to determine whether current policies are well-grounded or in need of reform.
