Description
The first book to focus on this exciting, new and controversial subject in sports studies. Genetic doping in sport is a live issue.
Puff and foreword by high profile bioethics scholars Francis Fukuyama and Tom Murray.
Drugs and 'doping' in sport is an important topic for students, academics and practitioners. Our books on the subject have a good reputation and good sales history.
Andy Miah's work does not shy from difficult questions - he courts controversy and works very hard to promote discussion of this subject. He is young but already recognised internationally as the leading UK spokesperson in this area.
Organisations such as (WADA World Anti Doping Agency) have a growing, highly vocal media presence and will ensure the subject remains high profile.
The US has a strong interest in the topic. The President's Council on Bioethics has addressed the issue and WADA are based in Canada.
The book is part of the Ethics and Sport series - a reliable source of quality titles.
