Doping has developed from a relatively ethical or moral phenomenon of sport to a very real problem, dealing with blatantly unfair and clearly forbidden means and substances. Obviously, the Cold War—especially in Germany—was one of the main reasons why doping became a central problem of current sports. This book examines doping in Germany, with primary attention given to West Germany, from 1950 to the present, including what societal, cultural, and institutional pressures arose after WWII to bring about such prevalence of doping in the country.
