Hardback. Condition: New. Why is doping a perennial problem for sport? Is this solely a contemporary phenomenon? And should doping always be regarded as cheating, or do today's anti-doping measures go too far?Drawing on case studies from the early twentieth century to the present day, Doping: A Sporting History explores why the current anti-doping system looks as it does, charting its origins to the founding of the modern Olympic Games. From interwar notions of sporting purity to the post-war stimulant crisis, what seemed an easily resolvable problem soon became an impossible challenge as pharmacology improved, the policy system stuttered, and Cold War politics allowed doping to flourish. The late twentieth century saw the creation of the World Anti-Doping Agency, but has the intensity of these global measures led to unintended harms?From the cyclist Tommy Simpson, who died in 1967 on Mont Ventoux with amphetamines in his jersey, to ?Team Russia's expulsion from the 2018 Winter Olympics, Doping: A Sporting History is a gripping, provocative account that ultimately proposes a new approach: one for the inclusion and protection of athletes themselves.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. ¿Por qué el dopaje sigue siendo una sombra persistente en el deporte? ¿Es realmente un fenómeno contemporáneo o ha acompañado a atletas y competiciones desde sus comienzos? ¿Y hasta qué punto las actuales políticas antidopaje protegen el juego limpio. o castigan en exceso a los propios deportistas? De los maratonianos que corrían con estricnina a comienzos del siglo XX a la muerte de Tom Simpson en el Mont Ventoux; de los programas secretos de dopaje en la Guerra Fría a la expulsión de Rusia de los Juegos de Invierno de 2018, este libro recorre una historia incómoda y fascinante: la del eterno pulso entre fármacos, deporte y poder. Con rigor histórico y un estilo ágil, Doping. Entre la gloria y la trampa muestra cómo la lucha contra el dopaje ha estado marcada por contradicciones, intereses políticos y castigos desproporcionados que, en ocasiones, han convertido a los propios atletas en víctimas. Un libro que, al mismo tiempo que narra la evolución histórica del dopaje y de las políticas antidopaje, invita a cuestionar los dogmas del deporte limpio y propone un nuevo enfoque: uno que ponga en el centro a quienes más lo merecen, las y los deportistas. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
