I am a sport historian and my research focuses on the relationship between politics and international sport, anti-doping, athlete activisim, and women in sport. I have written several books on international elite sport, including Power and Politics in World Athletics (with Routledge), Women in the Olympics and Dope Hunters (both with Commonground). I am the Head of the Sport & Society Research Network, the International Network for Doping Research, and the Lillehammer Olympic & Paralympic Studies Centre. My work has featured in international media such as DR (Denmark), The Guardian (UK), ARD (Germany), Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (Germany), CBC (Canada), and ABC (Australia).
