Sociology: sport & leisure; Drugs trade & trafficking; Drug abuse in sport

This book examines the bodies, communities, and cultures that evolve in different

online doping spaces. By engaging in critical analysis of the interrelatedness of

online and offline doped realities, the book provides a comprehensive analysis

influenced by digital sociology and feminist theory. It focuses on the intersection

of doping, bodies, and technology, and is structured around three interconnected

themes prominent in doping research but less acknowledged in online

environments: doping spaces and communities; gender and power relationships;

and the relationship between online activities and offline social life. Building on extensive online research with different drug communities and

doping spaces, the authors illustrate how the online world of doping has

developed into a digital ecosystem, and present an argument for understanding

doping as a cyborgified concept.

It will be of interest to students and researchers of sport and digital sociology,

media studies, social work, drug studies and gender studies
