SPORTS DOPING AS A SOCIALLY ACUTE QUESTION: A LITERATURE REVIEW

This paper aims to present a review of the concept doping in scientific journals published in the period 2008 to 2018. The diversity of approaches that position doping as a socially acute question (SAQ) allow us to recognize the implications of this concept in educational contexts. The state of the art methodology seeks to reflexively recover production on the meaning that is attributed in the literature to the knowledge, practices and social, political and educational implications of a subject as complex as doping. Among the trends found, the Analytical Chemistry approach is highlighted, associated with the studies carried out in the laboratories on techniques and methods for the detection of prohibited substances; the consequences in terms of costs and benefits of doping from biochemical and physiological studies; the set of ideas, conceptions and representations that people have against doping; the educational programs and the pedagogical proposals that study the psychological, epistemological and methodological foundations for the prevention of doping; and the legal aspects, public policies and debates around doping and competition rules.
