doping, anti-doping, sports
Paul Dimeo is Senior Lecturer in the School of Sport, University of Stirling. His first interest in doping and anti-doping was from a historical perspective. He edited the collection ‘Drugs, Alcohol and Sport’ (Routledge, 2006), and wrote the prize-winning book ‘A History of Drug Use in Sport, 1876-1976: Beyond Good and Evil’ (Routledge, 2007). He subsequently focused upon the policies within the IOC, and a collaboration with Dr. Thomas Hunt led to a Fulbright Scholarship to visit the University of Texas, Austin (2012). This led to articles on the East German doping programme and how it compared with the situation in Western countries at the same time. Most recently, his work has investigated cycling cases in the USA with Dr. April Henning. He has led three WADA funded projects and been co-Investigator on a fourth. He is currently working on a book that critically explores the nature and practice of anti-doping policy.
