The ethics of blood testing as an element of doping control in sport

Article Abstract:

The use of blood tests for evidence of performance-enhancing substances is of questionable value in sports. It is a point of contention if blood testing is accurate and inexpensive enough to be considered fair to large numbers of competitors. Therefore the issue of blood testing provokes a number of ethical implications. Experts recommend no blood testing, educational efforts toward a drug-free sport, and further research designed to reliably detect prohibited substances.
