N2 - Game theoretic approaches to doping in sport started in the late 1980s by Gunnar Breivik and D. Shogun. An analysis of the modernist game showed that doping is likely to spread. The game theoretic studies by Breivik predicted that certain preference rankings would lead to doping. The use of game theory thus helps the authors to argue for a clean and doping-free sport through coordination and cooperation among athletes. Game theoretic explorations looked not only at doping but also at other forms of cheating inside and outside sport. Kjetil K. Haugen’s study uses game theory to analyze simple two-player doping games representing various types of sports activity. The increase in the number and complexity of participants make the doping game more unpredictable compared to an interval start situation with fewer potential winners and more transparency. In an ordinary two-person game with a relatively low probability of being caught and punished, doping is the dominant but suboptimal strategy.
