"The drug controversy in sport" contains contributions of a political, philosophical, scientific and medical nature by athletes and experts distinguished internationally in their respective fields. The examination of this complex and highly controversial problem from a number of angles provides a valuable basis from which to examine the policy being developed by the International Olympic Committee. The outcome of this policy will determine the behaviour of all those involved in current and future Olympic sports, as well as for non-Olympic sports. "The drug controversy in sport" is mandatory reading for athletes, coaches, administrators, medical practitioners, scientists and parents.
