Towards a Social Science of Drugs in Sport
The debate around the role of drugs in sport is vibrant. There is a wealth of evidence from the hard end of science, telling us how drugs work, how drug testing works, and how many athletes have fallen foul of the system. The evidence from social science is still building momentum. For example, what makes an athlete use a performance enhancing substance? To win simply fails to explain the drug use behaviour we see among athletes.
This book provides a foundation for anyone trying to understand the drugs in sport problem beyond the hard science by looking at the people factor from different perspectives. After building a case for the social science of drugs in sport, it is examined from the ethical, sociological, economic, legal and psychological points of view. The book concludes with a definitive statement about what researchers, policy makers, sports administrators, athletes and fans can do to achieve a social science of drugs in sport that puts people firmly in the centre of the debate.
This book was previously published as a special issue of Sport in Society.
Jason Mazanov is a Senior Lecturer at the UNSW Canberra Campus. Dr Mazanov started his career as a Health Psychologist before moving into the social science of drugs in sport. This move has seen Dr Mazanov develop expertise as a sports policy and management researcher.

TOWARDS A SOCIAL SCIENCE OF DRUGS IN SPORT
Sport in the Global Society Contemporary Perspectives
Series Editor: Boria Majumdar
The social, cultural (including media) and political study of sport is an expanding area of scholarship and related research. While this area has been well served by the Sport in the Global Society series, the surge in quality scholarship over the last few years has necessitated the creation of Sport in the Global Society: Contemporary Perspectives. The series will publish the work of leading scholars in fields as diverse as sociology, cultural studies, media studies, gender studies, cultural geography and history, political science and political economy. If the social and cultural study of sport is to receive the scholarly attention and readership it warrants, a cross-disciplinary series dedicated to taking sport beyond the narrow confines of physical education and sport science academic domains is necessary. Sport in the Global Society: Contemporary Perspectives will answer this need.
