Comparative analysis of European legislation on doping.

The authors analyse legislation and regulations concerning doping in force in Belgium, Italy, Great Britain, Greece, Switzerland, France, Spain, Finland, Norway, Portugal, Luxemburg, Sweden, Germany, Austria and Denmark and examine the causes and the definition of doping as well as problems surrounding education and information, the tracing of forbidden substances, the determination of their use, and the controls and the sanctions provided. Prominence is given to those provisions which, according to the authors, have to be adopted from each law or regulation in order to form a homogeneous European regulation.
