Athletes are always looking for new means to become faster, better and stronger. Their search for new techniques to enhance their sporting performance has increasingly been linked to the use of novel psychoactive substances (NPS) and other similarly hard-to-detect substances such as performance-enhancing drugs. This book offers a timely analysis of the new challenges posed by this phenomenon in the anti-doping community and its values.  The authors present the first comprehensive perspective on the rapidly shifting doping scenario and reflect on use, regulation, policy and market structure of NPS used in sports. They highlight the challenges in the list of substances and methods prohibited in sports, in and out of competition. They also evaluate how the detection of new drugs represents a constant battle for doping control, as methods have to be constantly adapted for their detection. Topics covered within the chapters include: establishes a clear benchmark on the policy discussion, drawing from all available evidence and sources, including athletes' personal experiences, to generate a clear fact-based document that informs not only research audiences, particularly academic and forensic ones, but also a wider and diverse readership. The book is an essential resource for those working in the areas of anti-doping, substance misuse, sports, ethics and human enhancement. It also is a useful reference for national and cross-national policy-makers, legislative personnel working in drafting laws and regulating NPS, and professionals who have an interest in the subject. The lay public will find the more accessible presentation of doping in sports and society a fresh perspective on the need to protect clean sport. weiterlesen
