dc.description.abstract | Building
on Foucault s theory of the enterprise society , this article situates the use
of performance-enhancing drugs in sport in the wider socio-economic context,
where generalised competition has become a strategic game of innovation and
enterprise. Professional and elite sport is shaped through innovation as
athletes and teams look for ways to gain a competitive edge over rivals, while
the World Anti-Doping Agency resorts to intrusive controls in the name of
playing true and protecting the spirit of sport . The central argument is
that the problem of drugs in sport is framed
as though it amounts to exceptional and excessive thus governable
behaviour, but this overlooks the extent to which the
enterprise society is itself a game of excess. Moreover, examined as a contest
between competition and control, the sporting arena provides evidence of how
the game of excess intensifies, and also how this institutes a tyrannical mode
of governance. | en_US |
