This unique international legal and cross-disciplinary edited volume contains analysis of the legal impact of doping regulation by eminent and well known experts in the legal fields of sports doping regulation and diverse legal fields which are intrinsically important areas for consideration in the sports doping landscape. These are thoughtful extended reflections by experts on theory and policy and how they interact with law in the context of doping in sport. It is the first book to examine the topical and contentious area of sports doping from a variety of different but very relevant legal perspectives which impact the stakeholders in sport at both professional and grass roots levels. The World Anti-Doping Code contains an unusual mix of public and private regulation which is of more general interest and fully explored in this work. Each of the 14 chapters addresses doping regulation from a legal perspective such as tort, corporate governance, employment law, human rights law, or a scientific area. Legal areas are generally considered from an international and not national perspective. Issues including fairness, logic and the likelihood of compliance are explored. It is vital reading for anyone interested in the law, regulation and governance of sport

This book is an innovative and compelling work that develops a modified moral panic model illustrated by the drugs in sport debate. Drawing on Max Weber’s work on moral authority and legitimacy, McDermott argues that doping scandals create a crisis of legitimacy for sport governing bodies and other elite groups. This crisis leads to a moral panic, where the issue at stake for elite groups is perceptions of their organizational legitimacy. The book highlights the role of the media as a site where claims to legitimacy are made, and contested, contributing to the social construction of a moral panic. The book explores the way regulatory responses, in this case anti-doping policies in sport, reflect the interests of elite groups and the impact of those responses on individuals, or "folk devils." The War on Drugs in Sport makes a key contribution to moral panic theory by adapting Goode and Ben-Yehuda’s moral panic model to capture the diversity of interests and complex relationships between elite groups. The difference between this book and others in the field is its application of a new theoretical perspective, supported by well-researched empirical evidence.

L?objet de cet ouvrage est d?explorer ce qui mène du "souci de soi", tel que défini par l?Antiquité grecque, au "corps augmenté", dont le sport de haut niveau propose aujourd?hui une version expérimentale. Ce trajet n?est pas seulement un reflet historique, celui d?une histoire des pratiques corporelles qui inclurait la médecine, les gymnastiques, l?éducation physique et le sport, dans leurs acceptions et finalités variées, et parfois antagonistes, au cours des siècles. Il traduit aussi le noeud problématique qui lie l?exercice physique à la thématique du dépassement : dépassement de soi lorsqu?il s?agit de s?améliorer, de s?entraîner pour "performer" ; dépassement des limites lorsqu?il s?agit de rendre effective la croyance moderne ? et sportive ? dans l?idée de progrès infini ; dépassement de la nature aussi lorsqu?il s?agit de mettre en question le "corps naturel", tout autant que l?"identité humaine" et ses contours, par l?usage de substances chimiques ou de prothèses.
