I am an Assistant Professor for Sport and Social Science at the Research Unit Sport and Body Culture of Aarhus University. I hold a PhD in Sport History from the German Sport University Cologne and a M.A. in International Sport Policy from the University of Brighton. Following the finalization of my PhD in 2015, I worked as lecturer at the German Sport University before moving to Aarhus in spring 2019.

In the past, I have explored the history of anti-doping science and authored the monograph Dope Hunters: The Influence of Scientists on the Global Fight Against Doping in Sport, 1967-1992. My current research focuses on the institutional history of World Athletics (formerly the IAAF), including its controversial role in the formation of global anti-doping policies. Besides my involvement in the INDR leadership, I am the chair of the international research network Sport & Society.

I am a Lecturer in the Faculty of Health Sciences and Sport at the University of Stirling. I have a PhD in Sociology from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. After my doctorate, I was an NIH/NIDA post-doctoral research fellow in substance use at the National Development and Research Institutes. I began as a Lecturer at Stirling in 2018.

My previous research focused on sport doping and the implications of anti-doping policy for athlete health. My current research focuses on the intersections of sport and fitness doping, with a particular interest in harm reduction and polydrug use. I’m an Associate Editor at Performance Enhancement & Health, and a board member of the Human Enhancement Drugs Network.

I am an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Health Sciences and Sport at the University of Stirling, and Associate Dean for Internationalisation. I joined Stirling in 2002, after completing a PhD at the University of Strathclyde (1999) on racism in sport, and working for three years as a lecturer at the University of Northampton. I have researched historical and policy aspects of doping and anti-doping. My current research interests include the strengths and weaknesses of policy strategies, and the impact of anti-doping sanctions on athletes. I am an Associate Editor at Performance Enhancement and Health.
