ABSTRACT
In our contemporary world the significance of false information has redoubled. While the worlds of performance sport and exercise and physical activity for general health provide ample case-studies for misinformation and quackery, the focus of this chapter is information that is (probably) true. Rather than muckraking for misinformation or presenting methodological challenges and critiques of sport and exercise science, I trace the historical development of the sport and exercise science episteme demonstrating how it has been complicit in the production of information hazards—risks arising from true information that may cause, or enable someone to cause, harm—as part of an on-going moral catastrophe.
