Doping, as both practice and phenomenon, has largely been approached as a question of socio-cultural context and structures. April Henning’s and Jesper Andreasson’s edited volume Doping in Sport and Fitness (Emerald) argues that rigid differentiations between doping contexts – such as sport/fitness or elite/recreational – are less clear than it might seem. Andrew Bloodworth found the book an informative and interesting read, and he highly recommends it to those with an interest in this wide and complex field.

The contested issue of performance enhancement and anti-doping has given rise to a number of scholarly articles and books, one of the latest of which is The World Anti-Doping Code: Fit for Purpose? by Lovely Dasgupta (Routledge), in which the author argues that the WADA regulations have an elitist orientation. Our reviewer Anna Qvarfordt finds that, existing literature on the subject notwithstanding, Dasgupta broadens our knowledge of the effects of WADC.
