This book is the first of its kind to discuss doping within Non-Olympic Sports. Sports
like American football, cricket and dance sports have, in recent years, been in the
news for doping activities. The scale of the incidents may differ in each of these
sports, but they present interesting questions about the legitimacy of the World Anti-Doping
Agency (WADA) Code. Doping in Non-Olympic Sports: Challenging the legitimacy of WADA?
argues against the International Olympic Committee (IOC)-run regime where WADA Code
compliance is used as the only parameter to define an activity as a sport. The book
argues that the definition of modern sport is based on certain factors identified
through sociological and historical research. These parameters are common across the
board and do not distinguish between Olympic and Non-Olympic sports. However, the
use of the word Olympic in the Non-Olympic sport terminology subjects such sports
to IOC dictates. Consequently, the IOC exploits its monopoly over the word Olympics
to insist on WADA Code compliances. The numerous instances of doping, as reported,
goon to prove that WADA is turning a blind eye to these Non-Olympic sports. This book
is the first to dissect the issue of doping within Non-Olympic sports and questions
the very idea of WADA compliance as a condition precedent to defining sports going
on to highlight the inbuilt inequity within the existing anti-doping system wherein
a private regime is usurping the State's discretion. The new, cutting edge research
book is key reading for academics and researchers in the fields of Coaching, Sport
Pharmacology, Sport Medicine, Sports Law, and the related disciplines
