There is a wealth of evidence from the hard end of science, telling us how drugs work, how drug testing works, and how many athletes have fallen foul of the system. The evidence from social science is still building momentum. For example, what makes an athlete use a performance enhancing substance? \"To win\" simply fails to explain the drug use behaviour we see among athletes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book provides a foundation for anyone trying to understand the drugs in sport problem beyond the hard science by looking at the \"people factor\" from different perspectives. After building a case for the social science of drugs in sport, it is examined from the ethical, sociological, economic, legal and psychological points of view. The book concludes with a definitive statement about what researchers, policy makers, sports administrators, athletes and fans can do to achieve a social science of drugs in sport that puts people firmly in the centre of the debate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume was published as a special issue of \u003cem\u003eSport in Society\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jason Mazanov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415853141\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415853149\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/10\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Jason Mazanov","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48112900636927,"sku":"9780415853149","price":68.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2b720efd-80cd-4962-a424-725e856831dc.jpg?v=1769611701","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/towards-a-social-science-of-jason-mazanov-9780415853149","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
