Doping and Public Health Doping and Public Health Doping – the use of performance- enhancing substances and methods – has long been a high-profile issue in sport but in recent years it has also become an issue in wider society. This important new book examines doping as a public health issue, drawing on a multi- disciplinary set of perspectives to explore the preval- ence, significance and consequences of doping in wider society. It introduces the epidemiology of doping, examines the historical context, and explores the social, behavioral, legal, ethical and political aspects of doping. The book also discusses possible interventions for addressing the problem on organizational and societal levels. Doping and Public Health incorporates the latest research to provide a com- prehensive guide to the key aspects of doping as a social phenomenon. Divided into six parts, this collection of studies offers detailed insight into: • ideals of health and fitness in today’s society • reasons behind the use of doping • medical and social consequences of doping • the importance of a doping-free society • challenges to the detection and prevention of doping • the global anti-doping movement. This book is a valuable resource for sport students, instructors and sport profes- sionals, and will also be of interest to educators and policy- makers working in the areas of health, criminology, sociology and law.

Cycling was a sport so important in Italy that it marked a generation, sparked fears of civil war, changed the way Italian was spoken, led to legal reform and even prompted the Pope himself to praise a cyclist, by name, from his balcony in St Peter's in Rome. It was a sport so popular that it created the geography of Italy in the minds of her citizens, and some have said that it was cycling, not political change, that united Italy. The book moves chronologically from the first Giro d'Italia Italy's equivalent of the Tour de France in to the present day. The tragedies and triumphs of great riders such as Fausto Coppi and Gino Bartali appear alongside stories of the support riders, snow-bound mountains and the first and only woman to ride the whole Giro. Cycling's relationship with Italian history, politics and culture is always up front, with reference to fascism, the cold war and the effect of two world wars.

Obiettivo del premio non è solo quello di offrire un riconoscimento ai campioni dello sport, ma anche quello di evidenziare il troppo spesso oscuro lavoro di quegli atleti che, pur non praticando una disciplina sportiva popolare, hanno dedicato la loro vita e il loro entusiasmo agli sport minori, nobilitandone il ruolo e favorendone la diffusione. Il «Torretta» non si ferma allo sport perché premia, inoltre, persone che si sono distinte nella cultura, nelle professioni, nella solidarietà, per la qualità, la creatività, la capacità innovativa, l’umanità e il senso civico della loro opera. Anche per questo la manifestazione ha avuto ampi riconoscimenti a tutti i livelli istituzionali, a partire dalla Presidenza della Repubblica. Nell’ambito della manifestazione verrà assegnato il Trofeo «Atleta dell’Anno», in collaborazione con Telelombardia, Antenna 3.

    Questions about a Champion "If a misdeed arises in the search for truth, it is better to exhume it rather than conceal the truth." Saint Jerome. "When I wake up in the morning, I can look in the mirror and say: yes, I'm clean. It's up to you to prove that I am guilty." Lance Armstrong, Liberation, July 24,2001. "To deal with it, the teams must be clear on ethics. Someone crosses the line? He doesn't have the right to a second chance!" Lance Armstrong, L'Equipe, April 28, 2004. Between the World Road Champion encountered in a Norwegian night club, who sipped a beer, talked candidly, laughed easily and never let the conversation falter, and the cyclist with a stem, closed face, who fended off the July crowd, protected by a bodyguard or behind the smoked glass of the team bus, ten years had passed. July 1993. In the garden of an old-fashioned hotel near Grenoble, I interviewed Armstrong for three hours. It was the first professional season for this easygoing, slightly cowboyish, and very ambitious Texan. I left with a twenty-five-page interview, the chapter of a future book11 was writing about the Tour de France. I also took with me a real admiration for this young man, whom I thought had a promising future in cycling. Eight years later, in the spring of 2001, another interview. But the Tour of 1998 had changed things. Scandals and revelations were running rampant in cycling. Would my admiration stand the test? In August 1993, it was a happy, carefree, eloquent Armstrong, whom Pierre Ballester, met the evening after he won the World Championship in Oslo.

  • Manipolati I Test Antidoping»
    18 dicembre 2012 Il Resto del Carlino «Manipolati i test antidoping» «NO SMOKING GUN»: nessuna pistola fumante. Seduto nel salotto della propria casa di via Pomposa, Michele Ferrari risponde con una metafora da... cowboy all’inviato di Al Jazeera. Al centro dell’inchiesta del pm padovano Benedetto Roberti, e nel mirino dell’Usada assieme a Lance Armstrong, Ferrari risponde alle domande di un incalzante Lee Wellings, in parte in inglese e in parte in italiano. Rigettando, come ha fatto in due recenti ampie interviste al Resto del Carlino , l’accusa di aver mai «prescritto, suggerito o favorito l’uso del doping ad atleti professionisti». Sono centinaia, afferma Ferrari, «i ciclisti cho seguito in trent’anni di carriera medica: solo pochissimi mi accusano direttamente, ognuno forse per ragioni personali e specifiche che presto potranno essere accertate». L’INTERESSE del reporter di Al Jazeera (lo special, intitolato Pedaling a lie?, pedalando sulle menzogne , è andato in onda venerdì alle 21), è ovviamente focalizzato soprattutto sulla vicenda di Lance Armstrong, cui l’Unione Ciclistica Internazionale ha recentemente cancellato le vittorie nei sette Tour de France; anche a seguito delle relazioni professionali con Michele Ferrari. Che ribadisce come «non ci sia stato un solo test antidoping che abbia dato esito positivo». La smoking gun , la pistola fumante dell’esito di un controllo, «non esiste nei suoi confronti e neppure nei miei», afferma il medico ferrarese; che parla espressamente di «cospirazione», da parte dell’influente commissione antidoping statunitense. «I fatti per quanto riguarda Armstrong sono molto chiari — dice fissando la telecamera —: o lui è clean , pulito, ed io credo che sia pulito; oppure i test sono stati fatti male o addirittura manipolati...».Nell’intervista, che dura quasi sette minuti, non si parla delle circostanze dell’inchiesta di Padova (nel quale oltre a Ferrari sono coinvolti anche alcuni ciclisti amatori della nostra città), affidata al pm Benedetto Roberti.

We are pleased to provide you with this introductory booklet, which will explain to you the details of the IOC Injury & Illness Surveillance Study. As you may know, the IOC is increasingly emphasizing work on the protection of the athletes’ health and prevention of injuries and illnesses. During the 2004 Olympic Games, injuries in all team sport tournaments (football, handball, basketball, field hockey, baseball, softball, water polo and volleyball) were surveyed, and the IOC extended the project to all sports events during the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Further improvements were made in the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, where also illnesses were recorded. The surveillance study provide the sports world with invaluable data that help us identify injury and illness risk factors and mechanisms, that, in turn, is used to develop and implement prevention measures and thus create safer sports for the athletes’ benefit. You, as the team physicians and physiotherapists, are crucial to the success of the project, and we kindly ask you to report all injuries and illnesses of your athletes on a daily basis on the provided report forms and return them to the IOC research team.

I reconstruct sport as “trials of strength” (Latour, 1988) through which heterogeneous actor-networks engage in struggles to produce advantages over one another. Far from competitions between human individuals or symbolic representations of the “pure” body, what I call “techno-sport” is anchored in assemblages of laboratories, materials, bodies, knowledge, institutions, and sponsorships. Techno-sport is about power. I then explore Armstrong’s preparations for the Tour de France, reassembling “LANCE” as an “extended body” (Mialet, 2012) composed of teammates, coaches, aerodynamic science, clothing and equipment designs, periodized training methods, blood-boosting techniques, the media, and more.
