An IOC insider speaks out on creating a drug-free sports culture With doping charges leveled at athletes in baseball,
cycling, and in the Olympics, cheating has, to many
onlookers, become the norm in pro sports. With implications
far beyond the sports arena, Inside Dope examines the
genesis of doping in sports as well as in the world of
doctors and trainers; drug testing and the battle to stay
ahead of users; drug companies and big business; and the
role of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) as watchdog.
Written by a former Olympian, an IOC official, and a
passionate advocate of fair play in sports, this eye-opening
book takes a candid look at testing standards and the future
of doping and sports and the larger issue of how doping
affects the public perception of athletes.
