Reimagining the Youth Sport System Across the United States
The youth sport system in the United States is not achieving its full potential. There is a need to reimagine this system in ways that are evidence-based, innovative, and coordinated to best safeguard and promote the well-being of young people. The purpose of this expert commentary, composed by the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition Science Board, is to propose a set of changes across multiple levels of influence (e.g., individual…
Balancing Gender Identity and Gamer Identity
This article examines a terrain in which gender inclusion remains a challenge: competitive esports. In the male-dominated sphere of esports, the underrepresentation of women and nonbinary people often leaves these marginalized groups invisible, with a significant lack of women and nonbinary people competing in top-tier tournaments. We highlight the experience of Wang ‘BaiZe’ Xinyu, a Chinese Hearthstone player who became the first woman to compet…
Drugs, the Law, and the Downfall of Dancer's Image at the 1968 Kentucky Derby
The disqualification of Dancer's Image at the 1968 Kentucky Derby for the presence of a prohibited substance reveals much about the human–animal relationship. The horse was, on the one hand, depicted in anthropomorphic terms as an honourable competitor unjustly stripped of a victory. At the same time, Dancer's Image was treated as simply a piece of physical property. In short, human conceptions of domesticated animals are dichotomous in nature.Ke…

Paying particular attention to political dynamics within the Eastern-bloc, this article seeks to outline the diplomatic context of what remains the most notorious episode of state-level doping in modern sport history: the cold war-era doping program run by the German Democratic Republic's Stasi national security police and intelligence organisation. To do so, it aims to integrate archival research on the subject with high-level geopolitical analy…
Saint or Sinner
This article explores the role of Prince Alexandre de Merode in heading the IOC's fight against drugs from the 1960s to 2002. History has not served de Merode very well. He has been presented in simplistic ways that emerge from context rather than evidence – as either a saint or a sinner. IOC-sanctioned accounts cast him inthe mould of the saint: a moral and intelligent man who saved sports from doping. In contrast, sports academics have tended t…
The President's Council on Physical Fitness and the Systematisation of Children's Play in America
This article examines the influence of physical education philosophies on the shift in policies aimed at augmenting the physical fitness of children in the United States during the Cold War. While the existing historiography on federal sport initiatives during this period astutely recognises the broader shift in focus from mass fitness programmes during the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations to elite sport development under Nixon and Ford, th…
