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.

Om transgenderister inom tävlingsidrotten handlar Eric Andersons och Ann Travers antologi Transgender Athletes in Competitive Sport (Routledge). Jesper Fundberg för i sin recension flera spännande resonemang, till exempel om att förflyttningen över könsgränser snarare upprätthåller än bryter den binära könsuppdelningen.
