This book presents a broad epidemiological portrait of psychoactive drug use among athletes, bolstered by a sociological framework that problematizes sport as a risk environment" for substance use. Interventions, policy options, and sporting contexts that may reduce or minimize drug-related harms, or encourage controlled substance use, are considered throughout the text. In addition to sketching a global history of psychoactive drug use in sport, two drug-specific case studies are presented in detail: alcohol use and overuse among university and non-elite "club" athletes, and the non-medical consumption of opioids within contact sports. An interdisciplinary text, this book provides a comprehensive review of current research in psychoactive drug use in sport, as well as a guide to evidence-based interventions"--
