Description

Explore the complex relationship between substance use and athletic culture in Drugs, Alcohol and Sport: A Critical History. While sport is often viewed as a healthy and moral pursuit, the history of competitive games and social gatherings shows that alcohol and drugs have been present since the very beginning. This book provides a deep look at how these patterns have changed since the nineteenth century. This critical history examines how substance consumption and regulation connect to social relations of power. It looks at the tension between athletes and those in authority, noting how sports men and women have often navigated their own social norms while others attempted to impose moral standards. Part of the Sport in the Global Society series, this work offers a detailed perspective on the social and historical realities of the sporting world.
