It examines: BR * The forces that are bringing about the debate of ethical issues in performance enhancing drugs in sport BR * The sources of ethical debates in different continents and countries BR * The variation of ethical arguments in different cultural, political, ideological and sports systems. BR Whilst there has been a significant body of work that has looked at the importance of ethical issues in performance enhancing drugs in sport - there has been little, if any, consideration of the various ethical concepts in different countries and cultures involving sport. This is a major omission. This book fills the gap and provides a thorough review and analysis of the ethical literature on performance enhancing drugs in sport in the global society. It makes a major contribution to the worldwide anti-doping campaign in sport. BR This volume was previously published as a special issue of the journal EM Sport In Global Society /EM . |
