Description

While much of the discussion regarding performance-enhancing substances focuses on the hard science of how drugs work and how testing systems function, this book offers a necessary shift in perspective. It addresses the limitations of purely scientific data by exploring the social drivers behind athlete behavior. Rather than relying on simple explanations like the desire to win, this text examines the complex human factors that influence why athletes choose to use substances. It provides a foundational framework for understanding the drugs in sport problem through a social science lens, moving beyond the mechanics of biology and testing protocols. This work is an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals who want to understand the human side of sports integrity. By looking at the people factor, it helps bridge the gap between laboratory findings and the real-world social contexts that shape modern athletic competition.
