Doping is as old as organized sports. From baseball to horse racing, cycling to track and field, drugs have been used to enhance performance for 150 years. For much of that time, doping to do better was expected. It was doping to throw a game that stirred outrage.Today, though, athletes are vilified for using performance-enhancing drugs. Damned as moral deviants who shred the fair-play fabric, dopers are an affront to the athletes who don t take shortcuts.But this tidy view swindles sports fans. While we may want the world sorted into villains and victims, putting the blame on athletes alone ignores decades of history in which teams, coaches, governments, the media, scientists, sponsors, sports federations, and even spectators have played a role. The truth about doping in sports is messy and shocking because it holds a mirror to our own reluctance to spit in the soup that is, to tell the truth about the spectacle we crave.In "Spitting in the Soup," sports journalist Mark Johnson explores how the deals made behind closed doors keep drugs in sports.Johnson unwinds the doping culture from the early days, when pills meant progress, and uncovers the complex relationships that underlie elite sports culture the essence of which is not to play fair but to push the boundaries of human performance. It s easy to assume that drugs in sports have always been frowned upon, but that s not true. Drugs in sports are old. It s banning drugs in sports that is new. "Spitting in the Soup "offers a bitingly honest, clear-eyed look at why that s so, and what it will take to kick pills out of the locker room once and for all."

Sorcerer Marla Mason, small-time guardian of the city of Felport, has a big problem. A rival is preparing a Spitting in the Soup: Inside the Dirty Game of Doping in Sports download epub powerful spell that could end Marla's life-and, even worse, wreck her city. Marla's only chance of survival is to boost her powers with the Cornerstone, a magical artifact hidden somewhere in San Francisco. But when she arrives there, Marla finds that the quest isn't going to be quite as cut-and-dried as she expected...and that some of the people she needs to talk to are dead. It seems that San Francisco's top sorcerers are having troubles of their own-a mysterious assailant has the city's magical community in a panic, and the local talent is being (gruesomely) picked off one by one. It's on everyone's bookshelves; it's in every traveller's hands. It's on mobile phones. It's on the Internet. It's everywhere, and it's telling entire generations of people how to travel the world.' - Fairfax Media (Australia)
