Provenance

Where it came from

Fitness Doping, published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2019, represents a significant academic inquiry into the growing intersection of performance-enhancing drug use and the modern fitness industry. Written by Jesper Andreasson, an associate professor at Linnaeus University, the work shifts the focus from professional sports—where doping is frequently documented—to the recreational gym culture and the subjective motivations of everyday athletes.

The text is part of a broader body of sociological research aimed at unpacking how societal ideals of the 'perfect body' influence personal health decisions. By synthesizing qualitative interviews with conceptual analysis, Andreasson provides an objective look at the risks, social pressures, and normalization of substance use in non-competitive settings. The work has been received as a foundational resource for scholars studying health, physical culture, and the ethics of human enhancement.
