La question du dopage est souvent traitée à la suite d'affaires fortement médiatisées qui impliquent des sportifs professionnels ou de très haut niveau. Force est de constater cependant que certains sports sont plus souvent que d'autres pointés du doigt.Pourtant, le dopage existe dans tous les sports et touche également les jeunes. Ces derniers représentent une population à risques à un âge où ils souhaitent devenir « quelqu'un » en accédant le plus rapidement possible au meilleur niveau. Dès lors, comment empêcher les jeunes sportifs de recourir au dopage, comment aider à mettre en place une prévention efficace ?Reposant sur une étude menée pendant trois ans sous l'égide de l'Agence mondiale antidopage, l'ouvrage met à jour la faiblesse des arguments des jeunes face au dopage. Il permet au public, parents, encadrants et professionnels du sport, une compréhension plus fine des failles qui conduisent les jeunes à se doper.

This title examines how various American communities create and maintain a sense of collective identity through sports. Looking at large cities such as Chicago, Baltimore, and Los Angeles as well as small rural towns, suburbs, and college towns, the contributors consider the idea that rooting for local athletes and home teams often symbolizes a community's preferred understanding of itself, and that doing so is an expression of connectedness, public pride and pleasure, and personal identity.
