The Japanese Debate Surrounding the Doping Ban: The Application of the Harm Principle

This essay summarizes the assertions of four individuals involved in the doping debate in Japan to provide context and background on how doping is viewed in Japan. The Harm Principle, which J.S. Mill asserted in On Liberty, is reinterpreted and applied to the doping debate to try to justify the current doping bans. This paper identifies and examines two key lines of reasoning that may provide good grounds for the doping ban: 1) one's ethical responsibility to future I, and 2) an uncontrollable act such as a drug reaction is beyond the scope of determination of the self.
