The Anti-Doping Crisis in Sport

"This is a significant contribution in clearly describing the labyrinth of a global anti-doping system that is ineffective in fulfilling its intended purpose – catching cheats. Equally, the book powerfully conveys how athletes as a key stakeholder are disempowered within the global anti-doping system. Moreover, the book conveys a number of powerful examples that demonstrate the unjust and harmful impact that the application of the WADA Code has on athletes – an issue that to date has largely been absent from the public discourse … an important resource for athletes, their representatives, sports administrators, and the public at large." - Brendan Schwab and Matthew Graham, World Players Association

"Anti-Doping regulation in elite sport has come a long way in recent decades, but as we’ve seen recently, it still has a long way to go. Paul Dimeo and Verner Møller bring to this issue an informed, independent perspective that is critical yet constructive, provocative yet pragmatic. Everyone involved in anti-doping — whether administrator, athlete or other — should read this important, eye-opening book." – Roger Pielke Jr., Center for Science and Technology Policy Research, University of Colorado
