ODY EDUCATION, DOPING AND SPORT IN THE FILM “THE PROGRAM: THE TRUE STORY OF THE GREATEST DECEPTION OF OUR TIME”

Abstract

This paper aims to question the education of the body through the film “The program: the true story of the greatest deception of our time” (2015) in order to reflect on the uses of the body in modern sport under the politics of doping. The critique we want to sustain is that technique is the means by which the human re-enters the becoming of nature itself, in such a way that the human is an expression of its activity. This implies considering that the limits of doping cannot be locked into an ontology where the body is given as something pure and that its nature is opposed to what is understood as artificial. However, this does not necessarily mean that we are in favor of doping in sports. We conclude that sport is so immersed in moral codes, in pre-existing judgments, that it is not sensitive and capable of perceiving that in practice, the performances of athletes’ bodies in their close relationship with technologies, express Nature and its logic of mutual inclusion.
