<P>This book compiles several years of multi-faceted qualitative research on fitness doping to provide a fresh insight into how the growing phenomenon intersects with issues of gender, body and health in contemporary society. Drawing on biographical interviews, as well as online and offline ethnography, the authors analyze how, in the context of the global development of gym and fitness culture, particular doping trajectories are formulated, and users come into contact with doping. They also explore users' internalization of particular values, practices and communications and analyze how this influences understandings of the self, health, gender and the body, as well as tying this into wider beliefs regarding individual freedom and the law. This insight into doping goes beyond elite and organized sports, and will be of interest to students and scholars across the sociology of sport, leisure studies, and gender and body politics. The book investigates and identifies different processes by which a person becomes and unbecomes a <Q>fitness doper</Q>; problematizes and challenges the gender politics that have traditionally been attached to fitness doping (trajectories); and analyzes the processes by which dichotomies such as masculinity/femininity, criminal/legal, and healthy/unhealthy are negotiated and destabilized by users, both online and offline.</P>
