{"product_id":"9780813575568","title":"Testing for Athlete Citizenship: Regulating Doping and Sex in Sport","description":"Incidents of doping in sports are common in news headlines, despite regulatory efforts. How did doping become a crisis? What does a doping violation actually entail? Who gets punished for breaking the rules of fair play? In \u003ci\u003eTesting for Athlete Citizenship\u003c\/i\u003e, Kathryn E. Henne, a former competitive athlete and an expert in the law and science of anti-doping regulations, examines the development of rules aimed at controlling performance enhancement in international sports.  As international and celebrated figures, athletes are powerful symbols, yet few spectators realize that a global regulatory network is in place in an attempt to ensure ideals of fair play. The athletes caught and punished for doping are not always the ones using performance-enhancing drugs to cheat. In the case of female athletes, violations of fair play can stem from their inherent biological traits. Combining historical and ethnographic approaches, \u003ci\u003eTesting for Athlete Citizenship\u003c\/i\u003e offers a compelling account of the origins and expansion of anti-doping regulation and gender-verification rules. \u003cbr\u003e Drawing on research conducted in Australasia, Europe, and North America, Henne provides a detailed account of how race, gender, class, and postcolonial formations of power shape these ideas and regulatory practices. \u003ci\u003eTesting for Athlete Citizenship\u003c\/i\u003e makes a convincing case to rethink the power of regulation in sports and how it separates athletes as a distinct class of citizens subject to a unique set of rules because of their physical attributes and abilities. \u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47118609645808,"sku":"9780813575568","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780813575568_p0.jpg?v=1763743899","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780813575568","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
