ABSTRACT
Current WADA policy revolves centrally, as we have seen, around an intensification of the traditional ‘law and order’ or punitive approach in which emphasis is placed on the detection and punishment of offenders. But are there other, and perhaps more radical, approaches to anti-doping policy which merit serious consideration? Should those concerned with controlling the use of drugs in sport, and in particular WADA, consider alternative approaches to the problems associated with the use of performance-enhancing drugs? And can those responsible for administering antidoping policies in sport learn anything from those involved in anti-drugs programmes within the wider society? In this final chapter we examine these issues.
