Description: The general thrust of this book discusses the ancient conundrum of whether athletes should take drugs, why do they take them, and what detrimental effects on health do they risk in the pursuit of a winning edge. In this context the act of taking performance-boosting aids raises other issues. What is fair and unfair play? If an athlete has an inherent health defect, what actions are permissible to allow him/her to compete from an equal psychological and physiological base?
