Doping in Elite Sports: Voices of French Sportspeople and Their Doctors, 1950-2010

By Christophe Brissonneau and Jeffrey Montez de Oca

This book offers a detailed history of how sports doctors across the twentieth century constructed the concept "doping" and used it to insert themselves into elite, international sport. It explains how the use of pharmacology became a normal part of training and shows that the concept of doping is far from simple.
