About me
About me
I joined the University of Stirling in 2002, and am now Associate Professor. My other roles include Associate Dean for Internationalisation, and Director of Taught Postgraduate Programmes, for the Faculty of Health Sciences and Sport. I have been researching various aspects of sport and policy since my PhD in the late 1990s (University of Strathclyde). Most of my publications and recent work has been on anti-doping history and policy. I have published on this topic in academic journals and books, and led four projects for the World Anti-Doping Agency. I have also written for a range of websites including The Conversation, VeloNews and Sporting Integrity Initiative.
Research (10)
My main area of interest is anti-doping policy. I have published widely on this topic including a recent monograph (The Anti-Doping Crisis in Sport: Causes, Consequences, Solutions, 2018, Routledge). I was a Fulbright Scholar to the University of Texas at Austin where I worked with Dr Thomas Hunt at the H. J. Lutcher Stark Research Center.
I am an Associate Editor of the journal Performance Enhancement and Health, and co-Director of the International Network of Doping Research. My research has been funded by the World Anti-Doping Agency, British Academy and Wellcome Trust. I am currently working on a new book, with April Henning, on the historical development of drug use in sport and anti-doping policy (Reaktion Books).
