Description

From a 1998 conference sponsored by the Amateur Athletic Foundation of Los Angeles, 11 studies cover the science of doping and testing; its history, ethics, and social context; and its politics. Among them are a comparison of how Canada, Russia, and China have responded to doping scandals involving their athletes. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
