Abstract
Ben Johnsons performance at the 1988 Olympics and the Dubin Inquiry are engrained in the memory of all Canadians. A common public reaction to the news that some athletes had taken steroids was that they had to do so to remain competitive in a system where such things are the norm. But how has the Canadian sports system - once a strong promotor of the amateur ideal of sport for sports sake - fallen to the point where this is considered the norm? The authors address this and other questions regarding policy making in Canadian amateur sport. Klappentext (gekuerzt)
