  • World Traffic in Doping Substances
    WORLD TRAFFIC IN DOPING SUBSTANCES by Alessandro Donati Note to the reader from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA): This worldwide research study, performed by Allessandro Donati, assembles information and data that may be used as the basis for an estimate of the total volume of traffic of doping substances on a world scale. The report is indicative of the challenges facing the anti-doping movement—the lack of national laws in many countries and the failure to enforce existing laws in others, as well as the dearth of reliable information to accurately describe the problem and develop solutions. To WADA’s knowledge, this study is the only attempt at quantifying the problem and identifying trends on an international level by pulling together into one report the information available on the recent history of the international trafficking of doping substances. The picture painted by this ambitious study should sound the alarm to the international community, and particularly to those governments that have yet to commit to outlawing the manufacture, supply and possession of doping substances. The opinions expressed in this report are those of the author alone and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the WADA. The content and views have not been independently authenticated. No legal liability or other responsibility is accepted by or on behalf of WADA for any errors, omissions, or statements on these pages, or any site to which these pages connect.

    Copyright by Daniel Lukas Rosenke 2020 The Dissertation Committee for Daniel Lukas Rosenke Certifies that this is the approved version of the following Dissertation: Supply and Enhance: Tracing the Doping Supply Chain in the 1980s Committee: Janice S. Todd, Supervisor Thomas M. Hunt Tolga Ozyurtcu John Hoberman Ian Ritchie Supply and Enhance: Tracing the Doping Supply Chain in the 1980s by Daniel Lukas Rosenke Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin August 2020 Dedication To my mother, the strongest woman I know To Adam: my brother, best friend, and forever my partner in crime Acknowledgements This project may never have come to fruition without the influence of father, Scott Rosenke. In my young and more impressionable years, he molded me into a man of confidence and conviction, and inspired in me the unwavering self-belief to pursue my dreams, no matter how far-fetched. Perhaps most significantly, I credit him with first introducing me to the subject matter I discuss in this volume, and piquing my interest in the surreptitious drug culture in Olympic and professional sports. Sometime in our mid-teens, I recall my brother Adam – my handsome identical twin – and I seated on the couch with Dad watching Lance Armstrong’s second Tour de France victory. At the time many believed the brash cycling maverick from Plano, Texas, a folk hero among cancer survivors worldwide, was a manna from heaven, sent to restore faith in the sport after a widely-reported scandal at the Tour two years earlier.
