Why does doping remain a persistent shadow in sports? Is it truly a contemporary phenomenon, or has it accompanied athletes and competitions since their inception? This book explores the fascinating and often uncomfortable history of the eternal struggle between drugs, sports, and power, from marathon runners using strychnine in the early 20th century to the complex state-sponsored doping programs of the modern era.
With historical rigor and an engaging style, April Henning and Paul Dimeo analyze how the fight against doping has been marked by contradictions and political interests, challenging the dogmas of 'clean sport' and proposing a new approach that places athletes at the center of the debate. An essential work for understanding the evolution of anti-doping policies and their real impact on those who compete.
