Dope - How Drugs Changed Sport

About the author

James Witts has carved out a career from making science accessible, whether for the broadsheets (Observer), consumer magazines (Cyclist, Rouleur, New Scientist...) or websites (CyclingNews, BBC Focus, Live Science...). He has written three books, published by Bloomsbury - The Science of the Tour de France; Training Secrets of the World's Greatest Footballers; Riding with the Rocketmen - that lifted the lid on elite sporting performance, all in a jargon-free and inviting manner.

I've also written extensively on doping in sport for many years. Publications who I've written for on this subject include: The Observer, Cyclist, CyclingNews, Cycling Plus and Rouleur.

He has appeared regularly on 5Live, TalkSport and many other radio stations and podcasts.
