The book presents a re-evaluation of drug use in sports, suggesting that the perception of performance-enhancing drugs as purely negative is a modern misconception. It explores the evolution of scientific understanding and moral perspectives from the late nineteenth century to the late twentieth century, highlighting how societal attitudes towards drug use in athletics have shifted over time. Through this historical lens, it challenges the prevailing narratives around doping in sports.
