Description

Understanding the science behind drugs in sport is crucial for making informed decisions about performance-enhancing substances. This book explores the limits of human performance and how certain substances can be used to gain an advantage.

The author, a leading biochemist, examines the challenges of testing for banned substances and the moral, political, and ethical issues involved in controlling drug use in sport. He also considers recent research on improving human performance through genetic experiments.

A new introduction provides context for the 2012 Lance Armstrong doping scandal, highlighting the ongoing debate about the ethics of sports competition.
