I am a researcher in the humanities of sport. By examining the historical evolution of elite sport, I seek to understand power relations and the institutionalization of ethical standards in the Olympic Movement. My work focuses on the relationship between politics and international sport, anti-doping, athlete activisim, and women in sport. I have written several books on international elite sport, including Power and Politics in World Athletics (with Routledge), Women in the Olympics and Dope Hunters (both with Commonground).
