This is the first book to focus on the problem of performance- enhancing substances and methods – also known as doping – in sports from African perspectives.Placing traditional African thinking and indigenous knowledge systems at the centre of the analysis, this book shines new light on the distinctive characteristics of African sporting cultures, doping practices, the management of anti- doping, and new methods for preventing doping in sports that take into account African value systems. This book draws on multidisciplinary work from philosophy, ethics, sociology, history, and political science, and presents real- world case studies of doping and anti- doping from across the African continent. It explores key themes and sites in African sport, culture, and society, including African art, traditional medicine, attitudes towards doping in Africa, sport policy, education systems, media and communications, and the problem of privacy in African sports. This book also considers the uniquely African challenges in anti- doping against the background of the World Anti- Doping Agency policy and practice, and wider international anti-doping efforts.This book is a fascinating reading for students and researchers with an interest in sport studies, African studies, crime and deviance or public policy, and for sports administrators, sports policymakers, or practitioners working in international, national, or regional sports organisations.
