Why do athletes use banned performance enhancing substances? In this presentation I present findings of three of my studies that have examined the motivations and drivers behind doping in sport. This includes a study of 18 doping adult athletes, 30 doping junior athletes, and an ongoing International Olympic Committee funded study of athletes who claim to have 'accidentally doped'. The presentation will outline the future of anti-doping research and operational practice.
