ABSTRACT
Both national and international multilateral drug-testing regimes have been labelled as ineffective. This chapter applies Getz’s (2006) model of regime effectiveness to investigate the pitfalls of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) drug-testing policy regimes. The analysis of the NCAA and WADA as prohibition regimes highlights that there is no clear cause to the diverse array of behaviours associated with doping and the change required to both regimes is substantial. Getz’s model provides a conceptual lens to understand why the corrupt behaviour of doping is still so pervasive.
