The proceedings of the 2017 Macolin Anti-Doping Summit

This book sets out the proceedings of the 2017 Macolin Anti-Doping Summit. The Summit brought together many of the most experienced and knowledgeable specialists from various disciplines, encouraging open and thought-provoking discussions on each of the major facets of anti-doping (the science aspect, the legal aspect and the policy aspect), viewed through the lens of the 2015 World Anti-Doping Code in practice. Speakers delved into issues as diverse as whether anti-doping science and regulation are keeping pace with doping, whether the law is jeopardising anti-doping efforts, the impact of the new emphasis on intelligence operations in anti-doping cases, what anti-doping can learn from the athlete’s perspective and the ethical challenges currently faced in anti-doping efforts. This is an invaluable reference for both practitioners and specialists in the field of anti-doping as well as those who might be interested in gaining further insight into the innumerable issues arising daily in the field.
