Police identify 2 men wounded in Lewiston shooting
CBS 13 | BDN
By Christopher Burns, BDN Staff • July 3, 2019 9:07 am
Lewiston police have identified the two men wounded in a Saturday night shooting, one of whom remains hospitalized.
The Sun Journal reports that Abdulwahid Osman, 18, remains hospitalized at St. Mary's Regional Medical Center. The second victim, 26-year-old Tyron Calhoun, was treated at Central Maine Medical Center and later released.
Police responded to Birch Street about 9:17 p.m. Saturday after receiving a report of fighting and gunshots, Lewiston police Lt. David St. Pierre said Sunday. When officers arrived at the scene, they witnessed people fleeing and found spent shell casings, he said.
St. Pierre said Sunday the shooting was not a random act, but no suspects have been identified. The investigation is ongoing.
Anyone who may have witnessed or has information concerning this incident can call Lewiston police Detective Tyler Michaud at 207-513-3001 ext. 3316 or the watch commander at 207-513-3001 ext. 3324.

clears you up pretty well cheap lasts a long time can be drying I started this when I was 16 and it cleared me in a matter of two months. I used this for another year and a half before my insurance wouldn't pick it up anymore. Sadly, I started breaking out again after I couldn't get this! Argh!!! But worked super well while I was on it.
Drying and does next to nothing. It does help with large pimples but doesn't work on blackheads (or anything else).
clears up acne spot by spot after about 2 weeks works very slow dries out skin excessively burning sensation not a very good spot treatment, I have not seen any significant results from using this product.


Just intersted to know if anyone has ever printed their program(s) onto paper to store as a portfolio. I tryed using the print option on DevC++ and the program came out really faint and hard to read.
Then I tryed porting it over to word pad but still got the same problem. Does anyone know how to make the program readable when it is printed out? I was thinking of bolding the font but Im not sure if that would make any difference.
And yes, my printer is full of ink so that is not the issue.
You probably just need to use a different color scheme and then print it.
If that doesn't help, then save the source as a text file and print that. You'll probably have to lose syntax coloring unless you have a clever editor.
Codex all the way. And it's free.
Thanks mario, that worked great.
Funny, I have never had a problem with readability when printing my programs from Dev-C++. The default color scheme seems to work fine for me.
I print bits of programs out all the time. When I learn new things I print them out and keep a reference binder for easy lookup if I ever have questions. Same with librarys that I create, so that if I have a brain fart an cannot remember how my own library works, I can reference it on paper real quick without having to load the source up.

Fanerlaminatträ eller LVL (förkortning av engelskans Laminated Veneer Lumber) är skivor eller balkar tillverkade genom limning av tunna lager av faner av trä. I motsats till den mer vanliga plywood-skivan läggs fanerskivorna vid tillverkning av LVL med fibrerna i samma riktning. Detta ger LVL helt andra hållfasthets- och krympningsegenskaper än plywood.
Det vanligaste är att LVL används till balkar eller stag då drag- och tryckhållfastheten är störst i fiberriktningen. Det är möjligt att tillverka mycket långa, böjda eller helt runda balkar. Skivor av LVL tenderar att krympa anisotropiskt och i värsta fall slå sig eftersom fibrerna ligger i samma riktning. Då limrester och liknande ofta är synliga används LVL främst dolt bakom innertak eller paneler samt under golv.

I Sverige säljs mycket LVL under produktnamnet Kerto, som produceras av Metsä Wood i Finland.

Just as GPS navigation and power windows eventually became standard in vehicles, being connected to the Internet is the next automotive luxury upgrade that will become commonplace, according to Rob Infantino. He's the CEO and founder of Openbay, an online marketplace for finding quotes on auto repairs.
Openbay, a Boston company backed by Google Ventures and Andreessen Horowitz, announced a new product Tuesday called OpenbayConnect that depends on Internet connectivity to help users find auto service. Openbay's original marketplace app lets users describe a problem their car is experiencing or a repair they want done, such as an alignment or brake replacement, and request bids from local auto shops for repairs.
The OpenbayConnect app interacts directly with a user's connected car, and when the vehicle experiences a problem, the software gathers and analyzes data to find a diagnosis. Openbay's program then contacts nearby mechanics with information about the problem, and those shops submit bids, as in the original app.
Xconomy: Why did you decide to create this diagnostic program?
Rob Infantino: We felt that we were missing a third audience [of users on Openbay]. First, there's people who know exactly what to get repaired, such as brakes, tires, or a belt. They put in a service request and get offers to do that repair. That happens about 80 percent of the time. Bucket two is people who can articulate what the symptoms are: the check engine light is on, or the steering wheel vibrates when I tap the brakes. That happens about 20 percent of the time.
X: But there were other people who weren't using your service?
RI: That's people who put gas in the car and go. They don't know anything about cars, how they operate, how to describe a problem. We don't know how big that audience is, but it's big. Through technology, we have the ability to remotely diagnose a vehicle. We can tell consumers, here are the issues we found with your vehicle, here are solutions to the problem, and here are service providers who are local to you who can help you get it.
X: So if a person is driving, OpenbayConnect can help them figure out how serious a problem is?
RI: If you're driving down the road, and your check engine light comes on, you want to know if you should pull off the road because it's safety related, or if you can keep driving for a week. Your car communicates with the cloud over a wireless connection, and sends diagnostic trouble codes to us. We take that data, diagnose it, and communicate that data to the providers near your vehicle. They respond with solutions and pricing information and when they can do the repair.
X: How does the car connect to the Internet?
RI: There's an onboard diagnostic device we plug in that is cellular-based. It connects to a cell tower, and it handles the diagnostic information.
X: Do you charge for the service?
RI: No, it's completely free.
X: Typically a mechanic would charge you for a diagnostic like this. But it's free with your service. Are the mechanics doing it in hopes of getting the bid for the repair?
RI: Yeah. That's actually a good point.
X: Do users have to pay for the device or data used?

Q: Ensure Android's Overflow button does not come up on my Actionbar I implemented the overflow button myself using the following base XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <item
        android:id="@+id/action_settings"
        android:orderInCategory="100"
        android:title="Settings"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_overflow"
        android:showAsAction="always">
        <menu>
            <item
                android:id="@+id/action_logout"
                android:title="Log out"
                android:showAsAction="never" />
            <item
                android:id="@+id/action_offer_advice"
                android:title="Advice"
                android:showAsAction="never" />
        </menu>
    </item>

    <item
        android:id="@+id/action_create"
        android:title="Create"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_new"
        android:showAsAction="always"/>

</menu>

I did this because I want the Overflow button to be on every Android device regardless of a physical menu button. I opted for this over the hacky solution offered many times across Stackoverflow. That being said, I'm a bit fuzzy with ActionBars and I want to be positive that Android's default overflow won't show up for users that don't have a physical menu button. It would be very awkward to have my implementation of the overflow button with Android's default one right next to it.
Am I worrying over nothing? Is this a legitimate concern? If it is a legitimate concern, what could I do to handle that?

A: Personally I would say that this is not a concern. There are many apps native to the Android operating system (ex. the gallery app) that show the overflow menu despite the device having a physical menu button.
Another situation you may not have considered is the possibility that the user's menu button is not functional on the device, causing your action bar tidying to become a problem.
There is undoubtably a way to achieve this, but what you're trying to achieve may cause more problems than solve.

Best and Worst case record for Virginia football in 2017 - SCACCHoops.com
Best and Worst case record for Virginia football in 2017
by Jfann
Posted: 8/3/2017 8:00:06 AM
Next in our team previews, let's take a look at Virginia football.
Best / Worse Case Record for :
Louisville | Miami | Duke | Georgia Tech | Boston College | Pittsburgh | Florida State | Virginia Tech | NC State | Clemson |Syracuse | North Carolina | Wake Forest
No football team in the ACC has sunk lower the last few than the Virginia Cavaliers. This will be tough for Virginia fans to hear, but the Hoos are the worst football program in the ACC. Last season Virginia lost their last 7 games, and as the season continued the team got worse. Bronco Mendenhall was a proven winner at BYU. He's a very good coach, but his 2-10 first season proves how much work he has to do rebuild the Virginia football program.
Will Go 6-6 (3-5) if:
The Hoos start the year 3-0. With William & Mary, Indiana, and Connecticut to open the season, the Hoos have an opportunity to get 3 early wins. Then they have to hold on for dear life. Duke and Boston College are and decent possibilities for wins 4 and 5. They have to steal 1 more game somewhere. For this to happen Virginia has to have some semblance of a running game. They were last in the ACC in rushing, and their lack of balance made the Hoos really predictable on offense. QB Kurt Benkert played hurt last year, and has to be better. He should be too if he is healthy.
If the offense improves, a bowl game is not out of the question.
Virginia doesn't have 4 wins by October 21st. The manageable part of the schedule is early. If the Hoos can't take advantage then where do you see more than 1 possible win with a finish of Pitt, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Miami, and Virginia Tech. Micah Kiser and Quin Blanding are future NFL pros on defense, but they need help. The defense still ranked 93rd in the country. The offense ranked even worse at 112. If Virginia is anywhere near those numbers again, it will be a long season for the Hoos.

This publication reviews recent developments within technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in sub-Saharan Africa, as well as future challenges in skills development in the region. Based upon 70 case studies covering 20 countries, it provides a good starting point for the development of country policies and programmes, of relevance to other African regions as well as countries in other regions facing similar challenges. Issues discussed include: the labour market context, reform of public training programmes, regulation of non-government training institutions, enterprise-based training, building skills for the informal economy, balancing cost-effectiveness with growth and equity, and financing.
This book uses household surveys in five countries of Sub-Saharan Africa to describe employment off the farm in the region s growing informal sector and assesses how different forms of education and training, including apprenticeships, influence choices in employment and earnings.
For developing countries, vocational training is a vital component of the drive to enhance productivity, stimulate economic competitiveness, and lift people out of poverty. However, training provision in many countries is underfinanced and fragmented, and traditional state-funded training programs are proving inadequate to the task. Financing Vocational Training in Sub-Saharan Africa emphasizes the central role that financing strategies should play in enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of training systems as a whole, through incentives, greater competition, and the integration of private and public provision. This book describes the emerging consensus about best practice in the financing of training, drawing on experience in Latin America and Asia, and testing this consensus against findings from Sub-Saharan Africa. It sets out the case for financing interventions by governments and scrutinizes the role, and effectiveness, of national training agencies, payroll levies, and alternative transfer mechanisms for institutional funding. This discussion draws on lessons from the experience of Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe. The book will be of particular interest to policymakers and practitioners of vocational training in developing countries, to development policy analysts, and to students and scholars of education and training systems worldwide.
Over the past 20 years, the perception of tourism as an effective contributor to socio-economic development in the developing world has propagated, with many viewing tourism as a provider for poverty alleviation and towards other UN Millennium Development Goals. Over the same period, readers have become familiar with the paradoxes, complexities and inequalities of tourism in relation to development, wealth creation, growth, redistribution, governance and 'hosts-guests' relationships. This volume further extends this critical debate with a much-needed cohesive publication on Sub-Sahara Africa (SSA). In an era of fluctuating tourist arrivals at global level, the growth of tourism in SSA requires deeper consideration in terms of its inconsistent and questionable implications at local level. Taking as a central theme the debate on whether tourism should be used in development efforts, this book examines the way in which tourism has controversially become the way forward to development in several SSA locations and assesses bottlenecks to sustainable development as well as dilemmas and challenges faced by those SSA destinations seeking to achieve development through tourism. It offers an explicit set of chapters adopting a multi-disciplinary approach, drawing upon tourism studies, human geography, sociology, anthropology, political economy, development and environmental studies, and integrates case studies authored by local African practitioners and academics to produce a book that gave voice to local experts on local realities. Combining an overview of key theories, concepts, contemporary issues and debates as well as practical insights from a wide range of regions in SSA, this book will be a valuable resource for those investigating the role of tourism in development.

Do Public Works Work for the Poor?
This paper examines the economic importance of stock markets in Africa. It discusses policy options for promoting the development of the stock market in Africa. The results of the paper show that the stock markets have contributed to the financing of the growth of large corporations in certain African countries. An econometric investigation of the impact of stock markets on growth in selected African countries, however, finds inconclusive evidence even though stock market value traded seem to be positively and significantly associated with growth. African stock exchanges now face the challenge of integration and need better technical and institutional development to address the problem of low liquidity. Preconditions for successful regional approaches include the harmonization of legislations such as bankruptcy and accounting laws and a liberalized trade regime. Robust electronic trading systems and central depository systems will be important. Further domestic financial liberalization such as steps to improve the legal and accounting framework, private sector credit evaluation capabilities, and public sector regulatory oversight would also be beneficial.
This last part of the AWLAE series on HIV/AIDS and agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa focuses on the epidemic as a challenge to human development in general and rural development in particular. In the face of the impact of the epidemic as described in parts one and two of the series, the agricultural sector can play an important role in mitigating some of its effects. Strategies for agricultural intervention are of particular importance in sub-Saharan Africa, given the fact that most of the countries hardest hit by the epidemic are heavily reliant on agriculture. Different agricultural sector based mitigation strategies are discussed. It is further argued, however, that such interventions need to be complemented by interventions from the health and other sectors, in particular by treatment regimes including access to anti-retroviral drugs. The text is followed by an annotated bibliography.
Sustainable biofuel production should provide opportunities for sub-Saharan African countries and their inhabitants, especially in impoverished rural areas. Biofuel feedstock production has the potential to bring job opportunities and earnings, but this should not be at the cost of existing livelihoods and the local environment. Biofuels also have the potential to increase energy security in these countries for both transportation and household needs. Sub-Saharan African biofuel feedstock production projects can be classified into 4 distinct models based on production scales (small- versus large-scale farm/plantations) and on the intended use of the biofuel (local versus national). The first type embraces large corporate plantations to supply the market for liquid transport fuel blends. The second type comprises small-scale producers linked to the corporate producers. The third type involves small-scale producers supplying the local energy needs of farmers and villages. The fourth and rarest type is linked to the large corporate plantations, to meet the corporation's own energy needs. The introduction of foreign-owned, large-scale corporate plantations producing biofuel for transport fuel blends causes the most concern in sub-Saharan Africa, as their scale and ownership arrangements may disrupt rural livelihoods and affect access rights to land resources. However, these projects can also bring job opportunities, thereby providing alternative sources of income for poor communities. This working paper assesses mechanisms for limiting the negative impacts while maximising national benefit capture. Market-based mechanisms versus legal and policy mechanisms to enhance long-term sustainability are also discussed.
This book lays out a rationale, provides supporting evidence, and suggests promising pathways for Sub-Saharan Africa to sustain current economic growth by aligning its tertiary education systems with national economic strategies and labor market needs.
Renewing Development in Sub-Saharan Africa reviews the debates and brings together specialist contributions, to provide a clear guide to the major complexities of African development. They lay the foundation for designing a range of individual country-specific policy-sets, in which the strategic components are prioritized according to each country's constraints and opportunities. The emphasis of the book is on the identification of effective strategies that will enable individual countries to most effectively exploit their growth opportunities and to meet poverty-reducing and other key equity objectives.
How Can Training Programs Improve Employment and Productivity?
Skills development in Ghana encompasses foundational skills, transferable/soft-skills, and technical and vocational skills. This report focuses on one segment of this skills development system: formal and informal technical and vocational education and training (TVET) at the pre-tertiary level. TVET represents a major intersection between education, youth and the labor market. The government has long promised to the population that increasing technical and vocational skills training opportunities will help solve youth unemployment. However, market distortions and inefficiencies have led to an adverse cycle of high costs, inadequate quality of supply and low demand, leading to further pressures on the effectiveness and efficiency of TVET services. This adverse cycle means that the political and policy promise of skills development helping to ease the unemployment problem is at risk of remaining unfulfilled. The report focuses on social and economic demand for (pre-tertiary) technical and vocational skills and maps out the supply of these skills from formal and informal, private and public sectors. The dual purpose has been to both carry out an institutional and policy analysis and also to establish a platform for monitoring sector performance and assisting policy and Development Partner harmonization. The report analyzes the economic and social demand for technical and vocational skills and the suitability of the current supply as well as the effectiveness of policy, coordination and financing of technical and vocational skills development. The report annex provides the summary of economic demand analyses from the key sectors reviewed and provides a full mapping of all technical and vocational programs in Ghana. The study offers a comprehensive set of policy recommendations for improving Ghana's pre-tertiary technical and vocational skills development sector, which will be of interest to policy makers and development partners in Ghana.

Everyone recognizes the fact that women enjoy a little pampering now and again – breakfast in bed, a neck massage or perhaps a salon pedicure. All of the above would make anyone's day special, especially when your best partner is on the giving end of this, right? What about the salon pedicure? Have you ever stopped to think that by entering this environment you are placing your health at risk, or at least the health of your feet?
If you have any doubts about your favorite salon or if you are going to a new one, plan on an early arrival to watch what is going on around you. Do you know for a fact that your nail technician has washed their hands between clients? Do they appropriately clean the spa tub between clients?
There are several concerns that should be carefully weighed before plunking down your coin to enjoy a little spa time.
Cleanliness: Tub spas need to filled with water and have a hospital strength disinfectant added to the water and left to sit for 10 minutes minimum. Then drained and wiped with paper towels.
Instrument sterilization: Instruments need to be sterilized between uses. Better yet, a salon allows you to bring your own instruments and they can spray them with disinfectant prior to and after use.
You don't want to risk leaving with something you didn't plan on. You may think your salon offers the best prices in town. But if they are scrimping on their budget in the cleanliness department, you will never offset the cost of medical and fungal treatments with what you are able to save on manicures and pedicures. A pedicure does not last forever, but it seems like nail fungus does. It cannot be stressed enough – cleanliness is everything!
If you are having second thoughts about your salon, check with Drs. Brook or Northcutt at Dallas Podiatry Works. They provide MediCureNow, a safe, hygenic and relaxing medical pedicure, right in their offices. Call (972) 566-7474. Your feet will thank you for it!
If you live in the Dallas or Plano, TX areas and can recommend a trusted salon, or if you have your own pedicure story, please comment below!


Climate change is the biggest threat that the world faces in the 21st century. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its recent report states that urgent actions are needed to cut the risk of extreme events and warns that the world has only 12 years to limit climate change impacts. This message is not only daunting but is also inescapable. A key finding of the Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 Degree Celsius (SR15) is that meeting the 1.5 Degree Celsius target is only possible if deep emissions reductions and rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society are made, particularly by reducing energy dependence on fossil fuels. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Kyoto Protocol, and the Paris Agreement, all call for addressing these issues through assistance from the Annex 1 Parties in four (4) key areas, ie adaptation, mitigation, capacity-building, and finance.
Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries to the impacts of climate change. Bangladesh is globally applauded for being a leader in climate action, and has set an example to help the poor and vulnerable by creating its own trust and resilience funds. Last year, as a flagship initiative of the Climate Finance Transparency Mechanism (CFTM) project (supported by PROKAS, British Council and UKAID), the first International Conference on Climate Finance (ICCF) was hosted in Dhaka in January 2018. The conference offered a platform for scientists, researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers to share and exchange different knowledge and ideas on the current and future climate finance issues. Bangladesh Center for Advanced Studies (BCAS), International Center for Climate Change and Development (ICCCAD) based at Independent University Bangladesh, and Center for Climate Change and Environmental Research, BRAC University continued the debate from last year's ICCF to host the 2nd International Conference on Climate Finance on March 9-10 2019 in Dhaka. It was an intensive dialogue between over 200 national and international experts, practitioners, scientists and policy-makers from 17 countries who shared their knowledge, expertise, and experiences to tackle the complexities surrounding CF.
The two-day conference facilitated serious discourse on policies and actions on CF issues through high-level plenary sessions based on the challenges and opportunities to access global funds for adaptation and mitigation. Representatives from the UNFCCC, United Nations Development Program (UNDP), Oxford Policy Management, many government and non-government organizations discussed the various sources of CF, comparing the contributions from international and government public finances, also private commercial donors among others. The chief guest of the inaugural session, Dr Hasan Mahmud, Minister of Information maintained that the global military expenditure is rising; it was $230 per person in 2017-18 and 2.2% of the global GDP, but global climate finance is meagre. He threw the challenge that global leaders need to be more sensitized to the reality of climate change; only then can plans turn to implementation and access to climate finance be more accessible to attain.
Chaired by representatives from UN Women and IIED, one of the most interesting discussions of ICCF 2019 was on the integration of gender, youth and livelihoods in climate change investment. Starting from analyzing how CF can be made more gender responsible, the session presented case studies from West Africa and the impact of CF on people's livelihood. It was highlighted that the international arena is increasingly recognizing the relevance of gender considerations in climate change action. However, the links between gender and climate change, in terms of expertise and wealth of knowledge, especially when linked to UNFCCC funding mechanisms, is still relatively new.
The conference had effective dialogue to demonstrate the role of the private sector to look into the holistic approach of how private sectors and governments can collaborate in climate finances and technology. Also, it was echoed that levels of education or knowledge play a huge role in how people or communities cope with disasters. Thus, interventions should look into ways to address the more vulnerable communities in a viable way that helps build their capacity. Though the private sector is motivated by profit objectives, CF in due course will offer enhanced opportunities for private sector involvement in developing countries.
Although the Paris Agreement established major funding for addressing climate change of at leas $100 billion a year from 2020 onwards, there will be little significance in having these funds if the most vulnerable communities have no or limited access to it. There is a need for the government to be an immediate facilitator of climate initiatives with support from the private sector, where private finance instruments and mechanisms can support both adaptation and mitigation projects. However, a strong takeaway message from the concluding session was that while the private sector has an important role to play in climate change mainstreaming, it will only do so if their investments are secured. The needs of the private sector have to be clearly recognized before bringing them into the mainstream CF system.
Presenters also covered discussions on the challenges and opportunities of Green Finance Mechanism. A key message from this discussion is that innovative approaches are essential to build networks and avail CF. For instance, Indonesia recently issued the world's first Green Sukuk Bond raising over $1.25 billion to invest in both Islamic and Green activities and hence it created a truly interesting way to capture the market demands.
The issue of clarity and standardization of a CF definition was raised throughout the conference, as there is no universal definition of CF. The importance of disclosing information by the developed countries on how they are going to finance in green technologies and climate change related issues was also referred to as an important point in the discussion. UNFCCC representatives mentioned that there are processes and efforts under the convention to encourage countries to articulate their needs and develop methodologies for adaptation. The discussions were wrapped up with the recommendation that it is imperative to emphasize how much financing is needed by the climate vulnerable countries and provide relevant action plans to the Convention.
The chief guest of the concluding session, Mr M A Mannan, planning minister of Bangladesh, appreciated the conference to draw the attention of key CF stakeholders, underlying the need for collaborative action to find solutions which is acceptable for all. He maintained that Bangladesh is an innocent victim due to its vulnerability, but the government is initiating many efforts to address this challenge. The government has brought comprehensive and holistic approach within policies and strategies plans with integration and mainstreaming of climate change, integrating into SDGs and even 100-year delta plan and recognized the contribution of this conference in the global CF discourse.
To sum up, ICCF 2019 was an exceptional platform to reflect the real needs of the vulnerable countries and highlights the demand side of CF. One message that was present throughout the conference was a concern regarding the inadequacy of funding under the Green Climate Fund (GCF). Some developed nations committed to generating $100 billion every year by 2020 but it is clearly not sufficient to tackle the emerging climate change issues. Developed countries will need to come forward to enhance initial commitment in the next years to save and tackle the emerging climate change issues.
Rapidly changing climate means that the destructive power of natural calamities is only going to increase in the future, and the recent cyclone Idai is a big example. This kind of severity needs immediate actions, and for that, we need large scale financial and technical resources. It is a reality that the poor are affected the most although they have a negligible contribution to the greenhouse gas emission; yet, they continue to contribute the highest proportion of their budget to cope with climate change, as was demonstrated by mainland studies of some countries. Ultimately, as Mr M A Mannan stated, the posterity have the right to enjoy what has been enjoyed by the past and present generations, and that, "to meet our common stake, we have to think outside the box and outside the borders.

Doping In Elite Sports
Author: Christophe Brissonneau
by Christophe Brissonneau, Doping In Elite Sports Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Doping In Elite Sports books, Drawing on rich empirical material from elite French sport, this book offers a detailed history of how the concept of doping evolved from the twentieth to the twenty-first century. The first study to span the period from 1950 to 2010, it sheds new light on the extraordinary world of elite sport in France – a world governed by its own moral standards and defined by extreme expectations of physical performance and highly medicalised training regimes. Including exclusive insights from athletes and their doctors, it explains how the use of drugs became an integral part of training in elite French sport. Considering the complex and paradoxical moral arguments that frame this phenomenon, it explores the decades-long social and political process that resulted in the normalisation of this doping culture. Drawing on examples from cycling, athletics, weightlifting, wrestling and bodybuilding, this book compares doping practices in these sports and questions the effectiveness of anti-doping policies. This is fascinating reading for all those interested in the use of drugs in sports, the ethics and philosophy of sport, or sports history.
An Introduction To Drugs In Sport

by Ivan Waddington, An Introduction To Drugs In Sport Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download An Introduction To Drugs In Sport books, Why do many athletes risk their careers by taking performance-enhancing drugs? Do the highly competitive pressures of elite sports teach athletes to win at any cost? An Introduction to Drugs in Sport provides a detailed and systematic examination of drug use in sport and attempts to explain why athletes have, over the last four decades, increasingly used performance-enhancing drugs. It offers a critical overview of the major theories of drug use in sport, and provides a detailed analysis of the involvement of sports physicians in the development and use of performance-enhancing drugs. Focusing on drug use within elite sport, the book offers an in-depth examination of important contemporary themes and issues, including: the history of drugs in sport and changing patterns of use fair play, cheating and the 'spirit of sport' WADA and the future of anti-doping policy drug use in professional football and cycling sociological enquiry and the problems of researching drugs in sport. Designed to help students explore and understand this problematic area of research in sport studies, and richly illustrated throughout with case studies and empirical data, An Introduction to Drugs in Sport is an invaluable addition to the literature. It is essential reading for anybody with an interest in the relationship between drugs, sport and society.
Self Fulfilling Prophecy And The Future Of Doping
by , Self Fulfilling Prophecy And The Future Of Doping Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Self Fulfilling Prophecy And The Future Of Doping books, Abstract: Objectives: Surveys of the perceived incidence of doping in sport suggest that such behaviour is relatively common. Perceptions may potentially be of greater significance than actual incidence: athletes who believe that other athletes are doping may be more likely to engage in such practices, potentially creating a damaging self-fulfilling prophecy. Design: A cross-sectional study examines the effects of age (range 12–17 years), gender and involvement in sport (elite athletes and non-athletes) on the perceived incidence of doping. A measure of moral functioning was included as a covariate. Methods: 312 participants were asked to estimate the incidence of doping in elite sport, to name a sport they believed in which doping was most prevalent, and to complete a short survey assessing level of moral functioning and demographic characteristics. Results: The overall estimated incidence of doping was 28.8%, with athletics, weightlifting and cycling named as the sports in which doping was perceived to be most prevalent. Perceived incidence data were analysed using a 3 (age group: 12–13, 14–15, 16–17)× 2 (gender) × 2 involvement in elite sport (non-athletes, elite athletes) ANACOVA, with the covariate of moral functioning. There were significant effects of both age group and gender on estimates of doping. Involvement in sport was not linked to perceived incidence. There was a significant (negative) relationship between moral functioning and estimates of doping. Conclusions: Findings are discussed in relation to the potential diffusion of doping behaviours and the content of anti-doping initiatives, such as attempting to counter doping through teaching the 'morality of sport'. Highlights: Perceived incidence of doping greatly exceeds observed incidence data. A 'self-fulfilling prophecy' may be occurring. Young athletes and non-athletes estimate doping in sport at almost 29%. Expectancies linked to age, gender and level of moral functioning. Anti-doping education may need to refute prevailing expectancies.
Managing Drugs In Sport
Author: Jason Mazanov
by Jason Mazanov, Managing Drugs In Sport Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Managing Drugs In Sport books, As ongoing high-profile drug scandals have demonstrated, sports organisations rarely have a coherent strategy to manage the role and relationship their sport has with different types of drugs (from alcohol to supplements to prescription drugs to doping). This important and timely book argues that drug control-led integrity management of sport is more than an ideological battle around doping. The relationship sport has with the drugs industry has become a much broader management problem. The breadth of the problem compels stakeholders in sport (including athletes, coaches, fans, public servants and sports managers) to understand better the issues in pursuit of effective strategies and responses. Drawing on cutting-edge management theory, this book explores the dilemma of drugs in sport. It introduces the policy and business contexts that have shaped responses to this issue and examines its significance to sport and integrity management, including human resource management, marketing, and risk management. It discusses practical management concerns, such as working with scientists and anti-doping organisations, and offers clear recommendations for the future management of sports integrity. The first book to offer a complete framework for a drugs management strategy for sport, Managing Drugs in Sport is essential reading for all advanced students, researchers and practitioners working in sport management, sport business, sport policy, sport governance and business ethics.
Doping And Anti Doping Policy In Sport

by Mike McNamee, Doping And Anti Doping Policy In Sport Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Doping And Anti Doping Policy In Sport books, The issue of doping has been the most widely discussed problem in sports ethics and is one of the most prominent issues across sports studies, the sports sciences and their constituent disciplines. This book adds uniquely to that catalogue of discourses by focusing on extant anti-doping policy and doping practices from a range of multi-disciplinary perspectives (specifically ethical, legal, and social scientific). With contributions from a world-class team of scholars and legal practitioners from the UK, Europe and North America, the book explores key contemporary issues such as: sports medicine international doping policy the whereabouts system the criminalization of doping privacy rights, gene doping and ethics imperfection in doping test procedures steroid use in the general population. Doping and Anti-Doping Policy in Sport offers an important critique of contemporary anti-doping policy and is essential reading for any advanced student, researcher or policy maker with an interest in this vital issue.
Towards A Social Science Of Drugs In Sport
by Jason Mazanov, Towards A Social Science Of Drugs In Sport Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Towards A Social Science Of Drugs In Sport books, The debate around the role of drugs in sport is vibrant. There is a wealth of evidence from the hard end of science, telling us how drugs work, how drug testing works, and how many athletes have fallen foul of the system. The evidence from social science is still building momentum. For example, what makes an athlete use a performance enhancing substance? "To win" simply fails to explain the drug use behaviour we see among athletes. This book provides a foundation for anyone trying to understand the drugs in sport problem beyond the hard science by looking at the "people factor" from different perspectives. After building a case for the social science of drugs in sport, it is examined from the ethical, sociological, economic, legal and psychological points of view. The book concludes with a definitive statement about what researchers, policy makers, sports administrators, athletes and fans can do to achieve a social science of drugs in sport that puts people firmly in the centre of the debate. This volume was published as a special issue of Sport in Society.
Doping And Drugs In Sport
Author: Justin Healey
Category : Athletes
by Justin Healey, Doping And Drugs In Sport Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Doping And Drugs In Sport books, The use of illegal performance enhancing drugs in elite sport, known as 'doping', is hidden in nature and increasingly widespread. Recent local and international doping scandals involving professional cyclists and football players have brought the issue of drugs in sport under greater scrutiny. Catching drug cheats is essential if sports are to be conducted fairly and if harmful health effects from drug abuse are to be avoided. A number of sports are plagued by suspicions that many top athletes resort to drug-taking to enhance their performance through the use of such substances as anabolic steroids, human growth hormone, erythropoietin (EPO), beta-blockers, stimulants and diuretics. This book examines anti-doping regulation in Australia and globally, and presents a range of opinions on the ethics of drugs in sport. Elite sports people are always seeking a competitive edge, to break records and win, sometimes at an ethical cost. What substances and methods are considered doping, and how can regulation and testing ensure all athletes have a sporting chance? Should drug cheats continue to be punished for doping, or should doping even be made legal?
Doping In Sports
Author: Stephanie Sammartino McPherson
Publisher: Twenty-First Century Books
by Stephanie Sammartino McPherson, Doping In Sports Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Doping In Sports books, Behind the fame of big-time sports lies a complex web of controversy and deceit. Doping—the use of banned performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) to gain a competitive athletic edge—is common in many sports. While doping can improve performance, it poses huge risks for athletes' health and careers. Some of the world's top athletes, from cyclist Lance Armstrong to professional baseball player Alex Rodriguez, have seen their images tarnished by doping scandals. Still, the pressure to win and high financial stakes drive many athletes to PEDs. Award-winning author Stephanie Sammartino McPherson uncovers the shadowy world of athletes who dope, the people and organizations that help them, and the scientists and officials committed to stopping them.
The Ethics Of Doping And Anti Doping
Author: Verner Møller
by Verner Møller, The Ethics Of Doping And Anti Doping Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download The Ethics Of Doping And Anti Doping books, With every positive drugs test the credibility and veracity of modern elite sport is diminished. In this radical and provocative critique of current anti-doping policy and practice, Verner Møller argues that the fight against doping – promoted as an initiative to cleanse sport of cheats – is at heart nothing less than a battle to save sport from itself, located on the fault-line between the will to purity and the will to win. Drawing on extensive and detailed case studies of doping in sport, and using a highly original blend of conceptual ideas from philosophy and sociology, Møller strongly criticises current anti-doping regimes and challenges our commonly held ideas about the nature of sport and the risks posed by drugs to health and fair play. He argues forcefully that we must understand the precarious position of the athlete and that only by containing coaches, doctors and drug companies within the anti-doping regime can we hope to ever make progress on this most important issue. Written in a lively and engaging style, and skilfully blending empirical case studies with cutting edge theory, this book represents an important statement on the nature of sport, morality and modernity. It is important reading for all serious students and scholars of the ethics, sociology and politics of sport.
