Description: This book presents a contemporary statement of the facts, arguments and decisions which are shaping policy concerning drug-taking in sport, based on the proceedings of the first Congress on the Socio-Ethical and Medical Aspects of Drugs in Sport held at the University of Newcastle in New South Wales in 1989. "The drug controversy in sport" contains contributions of a political, philosophical, scientific and medical nature by athletes and experts distinguished internationally in their respective fields. The examination of this complex and highly controversial problem from a number of angles provides a valuable basis from which to examine the policy being developed by the International Olympic Committee. The outcome of this policy will determine the behaviour of all those involved in current and future Olympic sports, as well as for non-Olympic sports.
