The possibility of a sabbatical offered to me by the University of Lausanne, even though I had only just arrived there afterhavingspentmorethan20yearsattheUniversityofGeneva, providedthe first incentive. Rector Dominique Arlettaz suggested that I take a sabbatical leave sooner rather than later so that the University of Lausanne would profit more from what I would bring back, and I thank him for the opportunity. Discussions with my life companion Barbara then spawned the idea to do something with my (and our) work on doping and anti-doping. A chance meeting in 2009 with Jan Tolleneer at the occasion of a two-day meeting on human enhancement at the Brocher Foundation on the shores of Lake Geneva resultedinaninvitationfromhimtoparticipateinaworkshophehadorganised attheUniversityofLeuven. Thiswasfollowedbyaninvitationforacontribution to a volume, co-edited by Jan Tolleneer, Pieter Bonte & Sigrid Sterckx1. It was at the occasion of that Leuven workshop that I learned about the interfaculty workgroup on ethics in sport at the KULeuven, bringing together colleagues from the Faculty of Movement Sciences and Rehabilitation Sciences, the Faculty of Medicine and the Institute of Philosophy. It all seemed to fit, and I therefore approached Jan Tolleneer with the idea of coming to Leuven for a sabbatical and to aggregate my work on doping and anti-doping in the form of a doctoral thesis. Jan reacted enthusiastically and proposed asking Andreas De Block to be co-promotor, which to my pleasure Andreas accepted. The University of Leuven then agreed to offer me an adapted PhD program, given my previous research background, for which I am grateful. I especially thank Jan and Andreas very warmly for their willingness to accompany me on my endeavour; I learned a lot from working with them. It must have been somewhat strange to supervise an older student like me, but they dealt with it in a loving way. I am also very grateful for the stimulating environment that was provided to me at the KULeuven during my sabbatical there in 2016. I heartily thank my colleagues at the historical Hollands College, where as a fellow, I was provided with a wonderful office in the intelectually stimulating environment of the Metaforum, a multidisciplinary initiative of the KULeuven to foster thinking and communicating on important societal questions and developments. The encounters at Metaforum, both formal and informal, were rich, eye-opening and often entertaining. 1Tolleneer J, Sterckx S & Bonte P (2013) Athletic Enhancement, Human Nature and Ethics.

Special thanks go to the members of the thesis jury. I am very grateful for their willingness to share their expertise in their critical appraisal of the present thesis. And last but not least, I thank my beloved life companion, Barbara, and my children Remco and Emma, for their love and for coping with an often absent (-minded) husband and father.
