Sex testing in women's sport
The history of systemic, mandatory sex testing of all women athletes in sport is now well documented, with hundreds of articles, entire books, and doctoral dissertations analyzing the scientific, legal, and ethical aspects of sports governing bodies' determination to verify that competitors in the women's event were women and that men did not sneak into women's sports. A 30 July 2025 press release from World Athletics (WA), announcing changes to …
Critical Reflections on the Governance of Women and Gender Expansive Athletes
In response to growing reactionary movements pushing an antigender, transphobic moral panic, sports organizations are increasingly pressured to implement policies for the women’s category that more heavily regulate and/or exclude marginalized groups of women. These efforts are the latest iteration in a long history of the paternalistic, white supremacist, heteropatriarchal governance of women athletes. Drawing on a panel convened at the annual co…
Doping
In Doping: A Sporting History, April Henning and Paul Dimeo, both prolific writers with multiple books published in recent years, team up to create a thorough introduction to doping in sports that not only traces the history of doping but also offers tangible and thoughtful ideas for moving forward. The authors chronicle the start of the push toward drug-free sports and the anti-doping movement, addressing myths and inaccuracies in arguing when a…

Olympic History and Legacy
Legacy research has grown in the last decade, particularly within the field of sport studies, with numerous books and articles examining the physical, social, and environmental legacies of mega-events, including the Olympic Winter Games. As a result, an increasing amount of research on the Olympic movement can fall under the category of Olympic legacy research, despite the boundaries remaining blurry of what exactly Olympic legacy research includ…
The Winter Olympics
The Olympic Winter Games, although younger than their summer counterpart, nonetheless have a long and storied history. From the first iteration in Chamonix, France, in 1924, through the first off-set games in Lillehammer, Norway, in 1994, to the most recent edition in PyeongChang, South Korea, the Olympic Winter Games are truly a mega-event. This introduction to a winter Olympics anthology considers the nearly one-hundred years of the Olympic Win…

Cheating, lying, and trying in recreational sports and leisure practices
This paper analyses the ethics of rule breaking, lying, and failing to try one’s best in recreational sports and leisure activities. Foundational philosophical arguments regarding the ethics of cheating, lying, and failing to try by Scott Kretchmar, Robert Simon, and Sissela Bok are applied to cases of seemingly unethical behaviour in leisure practices. Three specific scenarios are addressed: (1) recreational-level participants who intentionally …
Core Workout
In this essay, we distinguish between fitness and sport and provide a feminist account of fitness to set the stage for analysis of the conflict between norms of femininity, heteronormativity, and fitness. We examine the medicalization of fitness to show that women's participation in it is contested terrain and involves traditional sexist ideals of women's body capabilities. In order for women to achieve bodily agency, we propose that fitness acti…
Drug Testing, Sex Verification, and the 1967 Pan-American Games
Despite frequent claims that invasive methods of sex verification and early procedures for doping detection were used in 1966 and 1967 at different major international sport competitions, little is known about the origins and rationales for implementing such procedures. This paper focuses on the drug testing and sex verification protocols implemented at the 1967 Pan-American Games held in Winnipeg. Specifically, it explores the conditions that le…
Minor Problems
This article examines the role of young athletes in the development of the anti-doping movement in sport. In the law and ethics literature, children are considered a vulnerable population in need of special consideration and protection. Yet historically they have not always been treated as such, and in sport many rules apply universally to all competitors regardless of the participants' ages. This article provides a historical examination of drug…
From Silence to Surveillance
This paper examines a football doping incident that occurred at the University of Waterloo (UW) in Canada, and critically analyzes the doping policy recommendations for intercollegiate sport sparked by the scandal. In March 2010 a police raid led to the discovery of a large quantity of performance-enhancing drugs at a home linked to a former student-athlete, which resulted in an entire football team being subjected to mandatory drug testing. Afte…
No Net Gain
Representations of women athletes have always been complicated and often controversial (Paul Davis 2010), but perhaps none more so than in the case of beach volleyball. Current media representation
