Drugs scandals make front page headlines almost as often as great sporting victories, with the sports authorities becoming obsessed with catching those they consider as cheats. In the first of a new run of the access documentary series, Professor Ellis Cashmore argues that today's rules are redundant and misleading. He asserts that it should be left to individuals whether or not they take drugs. He challenges assumptions that drugs enhance performance or damage health and points out that the increased commercialisation of sport encourages drug use.
