"harm, Athletes’ Rights and Doping Control"

In the following paper an attempt is made to provide practical solutions regarding doping control and athletes’ rights in Canada, focusing on the current situation in which there are bans and testing, even though some question the justification of those bans. An explanation of the moral implications of doping control protocols, indicating the tension between these protocols and athletes rights, is provided. The discussion of this tension presents a variety of different perspectives and provides a basis for the recommendations that may begin to deal with the issue.
