TL;DR: It is shown that drug use in sport can be understood as a new front in the war on drugs, with some extreme measures and many negative unintended consequences, and it is argued that amateur athletes require a separate anti-doping policy focused on minimising harms of use.

TL;DR: It is argued that the phenomenon of doping is more complex than what has been shown to occur in elite sport, as it includes a wider variety of behaviours, situations and motivations.
Abstract: The focus of researchers, media and policy on doping in cycling is often limited to the professional level of the sport. However, anti-doping test results since 2001 demonstrate that banned substances are also used by US cyclists at lower levels of the sport, necessitating a broader view of the patterns and motivations of substance use within the sport. In this article, we describe and explain the doping culture that has emerged in domestic US cycling among amateur and semi-professionals. Through analysis of records from sports governing bodies and journalistic reports, we assess the range of violation types and discuss the detection and punishing of riders who were not proven to have intended to cheat but became "collateral damage" in the war on doping. We argue that the phenomenon of doping is more complex than what has been shown to occur in elite sport, as it includes a wider variety of behaviours, situations and motivations. We develop fresh insights by examining cases where doping has been accidental, intrinsically motivated, non-performance enhancing or the result of prescribed medical treatments banned by anti-doping authorities. Such trends call into question the fairness of anti-doping measures, and we discuss the possibility of developing localised solutions to testing and sanctioning amateur athletes.

TL;DR: It is argued that formal harm reduction focused on the health and needs of those who use IPEDs offers an environment in which safer use is supported and promoted.
Abstract: Policies and approaches addressing image and performance enhancing drug (IPED) use in the gym and fitness context, also known as fitness doping, vary widely by country. Fitness doping, and those wh...

TL;DR: It is argued that known cases of systematic doping responded to anti-doping in ways that protected athletes from the risk factors established by anti-Doping policy and that athletes suffered most when these systems were revealed, exposing athletes to the full range of doping harms.

TL;DR: Haneke and Aronofsky as mentioned in this paper argue that women artists can do feminism unconventionally by exposing the nexus of women's complicity with omnipresent societal power structures that shield gender norms.
Abstract: Michael Haneke’s The Piano Teacher (2001) and Darren Aronofsky’s
Black Swan (2010) are films about women directed by men. Both films unorthodoxly
chart women artists’ struggle with the discipline imposed on them by
the arts and by their live-in mothers. By portraying mothers as their daughters’
oppressors, both films disturb the naïve “women = victims and men = perpetrators”
binary. Simultaneously, they deploy audiovisual violence to exhibit the
violence of society’s gender and sexuality policy norms and use gender-coded
romance narratives to subvert the same gender codes from within this gender
discourse. Using Judith Butler’s and Michael Foucault’s theories, we argue
that Haneke and Aronofsky “do” feminism unconventionally by exposing the
nexus of women’s complicity with omnipresent societal power structures that
safeguard gender norms. These films showcase women concurrently as victim-products
and complicit partisans of socially constructed gender ideology to
emphasize that this ideology can be destabilized only when women “do” their
gender and sexuality differently through acts of subversion.
