The War on Drugs in Sport

- Moral Panics and Organizational Legitimacy

Bag om The War on Drugs in Sport

This innovative and compelling work critically examines the relationship between sport, moral regulation and governance from a moral panic theoretical perspective. It argues that doping scandals create a crisis for sport governing bodies and other elite groups, leading to a moral panic, where the issues at stake for them are perceptions of their organizational legitimacy. McDermott also highlights the role of the media as a site where claims to legitimacy are made, and contested, contributing to the social construction of a moral panic.
