Bio-sustainability and governance policies in high-income sport

Abstract

Taking the Olympics to be held in Tokyo in 2020 as a starting point for problems about the government of high-performance athletes, I discuss the construction of biosocial communities as control strategies for specific subjects and communities. I assume that the current biotechnological conditions change traditional concepts between natural, cultural and artificial, and that these conditions constitute openings for emerging forms of social regulation, exemplified in this case for high-performance athletes and sports. In conducting these discussions, I analyse the ways in which the World Anti-doping Agency (WADA-AMA) develops and implements actions to manage sportive vitality, mainly through the extracts and listed in the Play True magazine. Contemporary biotechnological conditions for human change are considered to be new forms of socialisation, marked by increasing vital capabilities, changing traditional understanding of body and nature, requiring new forms of body governance.
