His talk, this evening, on the use of drugs in sport, is an issue that all too frequently captures the attention of the international media. He will explore the circumstances through which athletes may take drugs, with particular emphasis on doping. The international regulation of doping will be outlined, including the procedures for testing and sanctioning of offenders. Finally, he will speculate on the extent of doping in sport and what the future may hold.
