Sport has always presented participants, administrators, and observers with a wide array of ethical dilemmas, often displayed in the media. We look in astonishment and horror at such things as the judging debacle in the pairs figure-skating event at the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, the not-too-distant future possibility of genetically modified athletes, the bribe taking by members of the IOC, the widespread steroid use by athletes, the child sex-abuse cases in hockey, the acceptance of physical assault and violence, the hooligans among British soccer fans, and the drug abusers at the Tour de France.
This revised and expanded edition is designed to provide an analytical framework for readers to explore and understand the ethical issues and controversies in sport today. Included for discussion purposes are topical case studies from the world of sport and recreation.
