My main research areas mainly relate to elite sporting lives and working conditions, drugs in sport, doping and anti-doping policy, and prevention strategies in sport and society. I also have an interest in the impact of sport and exercise initiatives at workplaces. As such, health and prevention are central themes in my research. I have also worked in other areas such as sponsor networks associated with professional sport clubs and volunteerism at sport events. Key research themes are: factors which impact on elite athletes’ decision to use doping or not, as well as identifying grey zones, potential dilemmas and risk and protective factors among elite athletes; key elements of current anti-doping policy (e.g., the whereabouts-reporting system, the Therapeutic Use Exemption system, the Prohibited List of Substances, doping controls and sanctions) and their impact on elite athletes’ everyday lives; as well as how coaches and elite athletes experience and perceive preventive measures and the perceived legitimacy of efforts.
