ABSTRACT
The history of drug control for sport shows that anti-doping became the dominant policy for managing drugs in sport (see Chapter 3). It is therefore essential to understand the principles underlying the dominant policy when considering drug control-led integrity management for sport. However, it would be a mistake to assume that anti-doping is the only policy available to drug control for sport. It is therefore equally essential for managers to understand the implications associated with policy alternatives. This becomes especially important should policy change, either through changes in societal views on drug control or sports managers using their influence to shape drug control policy for sport (Mazanov, 2013). The anti-doping policy is described and critiqued in detail, followed by a five-stage drug control model which is used to explore policy alternatives to anti-doping.
