Summary

In a provocative analysis of sport ethics and human values, Genetically Modified Athletes imagines the brave new world of sport. Examining this new ethical issue at a crucial time in its theorisation, the book questions the very cornerstone of sporting and medical ethics, asking whether sporting authorities can or even should protect sport from genetic modification.
