Governing the society of competition: cycling, doping and the law

Abstract

disappointing that excellent and relevant work published within the literature goes relatively unnoticed. This is not an uncommon critique of works (see Edgar 2022) that delve into sport philosophy topics. Recognition for the previous spadework done would greatly benefit the sport humanities literature, but it is still a strength of the book that new voices and alternative perspectives are on offer. As such, this is a valuable resource for academics interested in non-analytic philosophy, as a tool for developing sociocultural/historical course content, or for graduate students interested broadly in the sport humanities. It is an important work that helps us grapple with our understanding, for better or worse, of sport’s importance.
