Synopsis #1: "Macintosh and Whitson alert us to the ... relevance of social and political factors to understanding issues of sport management." Trevor Slack, Journal of Sport Management. "A well-researched, perceptive analysis of the sports system Canadians have created. It should be compulsory reading for all those who believe the problems signalled by the Johnson affair can be easily solved." Bruce Kidd, Queen's Quarterly. Synopsis #2: Studies the policy-making process in six Canadian national sports organizations, each dealing with an Olympic event. The authors argue that the creation of the "high performance" sport system in Canada is due to pressure from three areas: the Canadian government, the physical education profession, and the sports community. Originally published (cloth) in 1990. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR Synopsis #3: Ben Johnson's performance at the 1988 Olympics and the Dubin Inquiry are engrained in the memory of all Canadians. A common public reaction to the news that some athletes had taken steroids was that they had had to do so to remain competitive in a system where such things are the norm. But how has the Canadian sports system once a strong promoter of the amateur ideal of sport for sport's sake fallen to the point where this is considered the norm? Donald Macintosh and David Whitson address these and other questions regarding policy making in Canadian amateur sport. Synopsis #4: The Game Planners studies the policy-making process in six Canadian national sports organizations, each of which deals with a different high-profile Olympic event. The authors argue that the creation of a "high-performance" sport system in Canada is due to pressure from three areas: the Canadian government, the physical education profession, and the sports community.
