Getting Ahead: Drugs, Technology, and Competitive Advantage

by Lori Hile

ISBN: 9781432959784

This volume is a must-read for aspiring professional athletes. The title opens by introducing why ethics in sports matter even as it recognizes the pressure athletes are under. The chapters that follow examine how technology, steroids, performance-enhancing drugs and supplements, and athlete-age concerns affect sports culture. Final sections look at “Future Sports: Designer Genes” and “Extreme Sports and the Next Generation” and offer topics for discussion. Color photos, charts, diagrams, and text boxes break up the main text. A glossary, source notes, “Find out More” resource suggestions, and an index are included.
