Verner Møller

The Ethics of Doping and Anti-Doping (eBook, PDF)

Redeeming the Soul of Sport?

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In this radical and provocative critique of current anti-doping policy and practice, Verner Møller argues that the fight against doping - promoted as an initiative to cleanse sport of cheats - is at heart nothing less than a battle to save sport from itself, located on the fault-line between the will to purity and the will to win. Written in a lively and engaging style, and skilfully blending empirical case studies with cutting edge theory, this book represents an important statement on the nature of sport, morality and modernity. It is important reading for all serious students and scholars of the ethics, sociology and politics of sport.
