ANTI-DOPING: ETHICAL PRINCIPLES VS. RULES OF LAW (PLENARY SESSION)

Subtheme: The Balco Story

The Balco doping scandal was an abrupt wake up call to the US and has led politicians to call for tough anti-doping laws and an end to letting sports organisations regulate themselves. The scandal has also raised principal and ethical questions about the basis for convicting athletes of doping offences and the way doping cases are reported in the media.
Play the Game asks if athletes are fair game for doping hunters and looks at the role of WADA in the Balco scandal where politics might have overruled scientific facts.
