Such cooperation and the unipartite nature of public  doping discourse give the impression that anti-doping policy is clear, unproblematic and  universally acceptable. However, scratching the harmonious surface of modern anti- doping approaches reveals fundamental problems and inconsistencies. This book demonstrate  how some of the most basic issues in anti-doping  policy are problematic. Most importantly, the  commonly offered rationales for such policies fall  short of providing a comprehensive reason for the  current prohibition on the use of certain substances  and practices in sport.  This leaves open the  question: why prohibit doping?  By analysing the  discourse surrounding the use of doping substances  throughout the history of anti-doping policy, this  book concludes that the symbolism of such practices  has been the defining feature in the development of  the rules relating to drugs in sport.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838323787\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Development of Anti-Doping Policy Since the 1920s\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838323787","offer_id":39469174325341,"sku":"9783838323787","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/f1ce0823-45c6-43e7-82e5-2850d9c23ecd.jpg?v=1775194147","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/anti-doping-policy-rationale-or-rationalisation-von-anne-amos","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
