a few days ago I received this paper on the doping dilemma from Bengt Kayser*. I think it is an interesting read, especially for pro athletes. It outlines the term clean as being very controversial. It denunciates the whole debate around anti-doping as being not clean by unreflectingly mixing the various discourses of interest be it political, scientific, moral or economical etc.. The decision-making processes are not transparent, agendas and coalitions blurry. I think Kayser’s approach could be inspiring, and help to dissolve the stalemate between the white “NO” and the black “YES”…
