Testing for Athlete Citizenship: Regulating Doping and Sex in Sport (Critical Issues in Sport and Society) - Hardcover
Book 4 of 18: Critical Issues in Sport and Society
Synopsis
Incidents of doping in sports are common in news headlines, despite regulatory efforts. How did doping become a crisis? What does a doping violation actually entail? Who gets punished for breaking the rules of fair play? In Testing for Athlete Citizenship, Kathryn E. Henne, a former competitive athlete and an expert in the law and science of anti-doping regulations, examines the development of rules aimed at controlling performance enhancement in international sports.
As international and celebrated figures, athletes are powerful symbols, yet few spectators realize that a global regulatory network is in place in an attempt to ensure ideals of fair play. The athletes caught and punished for doping are not always the ones using performance-enhancing drugs to cheat. In the case of female athletes, violations of fair play can stem from their inherent biological traits. Combining historical and ethnographic approaches, Testing for Athlete Citizenship offers a compelling account of the origins and expansion of anti-doping regulation and gender-verification rules.
Drawing on research conducted in Australasia, Europe, and North America, Henne provides a detailed account of how race, gender, class, and postcolonial formations of power shape these ideas and regulatory practices. Testing for Athlete Citizenship makes a convincing case to rethink the power of regulation in sports and how it separates athletes as a distinct class of citizens subject to a unique set of rules because of their physical attributes and abilities.

Shipped with care in a bubble mailer. --- Kathryn E. Henne treats elite athletes as a separate class of citizens, held to physical and moral standards enforced by testing. Three chapters follow the growth of the international anti-doping regime. They cover the IOC's drug testing from 1968, the change in thinking brought by anabolic steroids, Ben Johnson's positive test at Seoul in 1988, and WADA's role since 1999. A further chapter looks at sex testing of women athletes, with particular attention to Caster Semenya. Another studies drug policy in New Zealand, and a conclusion follows. The book draws on archival work at the Olympic Studies Centre, together with fieldwork and interviews. It examines the "spirit of sport" clause, ideals of fair play going back to Coubertin, and how race, gender and postcolonial power shape regulation. An appendix, notes, bibliography and index are included. Feel free to ask for photos or more detail. Ex-Library. Seller Inventory # RP-241019-shelf-76-003
