As human beings, were fascinated by elite human performance. And if it derives from nefarious means? Arguably thats even more alluring - just look at the Enhanced Games, the sporting free-for-all where doping is allowed that will take place in 2026. The lengths athletes, and their support teams, go to in search of peak performance is unsettling, dangerous and captivating. Just as intriguing is how the anti-doping authorities combat, or attempt to combat, the cheats. Blood tests, urine tests, examination of fitness data, monitoring social media a la Big Brother in an effort to determine where the athletes training. Is it in a country that doesnt have an accredited testing lab nearby? The alarm bells ring. Its good versus evil, but whos winning? Through the lens of case studies through the history of doping in sport, Dope! examines the landscape of sport and doping in the modern era. It uncovers the common methods of cheating and what tricks the authorities have up their sleeves to identify and catch those who cross the line. This is an eye-opening and enthralling account of modern day sport - one which will change the way you view it forever.
