Abstract

This paper presents a philosophical analysis of the significance of sport from the point of view of truth in the sense of unconcealment (aletheia). The essence of sport is not a battle in the sense of war but a conflict which is a condition for truthful unconcealment. Through sport the common man can experience truth in its purest form and that is why doping is not only unethical but is also a direct verbalism of a fundamental existential lie.
