An evolutionary game to describe doping dynamics

The objective of this research is to delve deeply into the complex dynamics of doping in various sports disciplines, seeking to uncover the underlying mechanisms that contribute to its proliferation. Our approach involves employing ecological and biological models in conjunction with evolutionary game theory, an original aspect of this study. These models will be instrumental in simulating and understanding the intricate interactions and competitive strategies that drive athletes toward doping. The study seeks to propose effective and efficient policies and measures that can be implemented to combat the spread of doping and to identify innovative approaches that could be more effective at deterring athletes from doping, thereby ensuring a fair and level playing field in competitive sports.
