Description

Write about a collective action problem (CAP) in sports aside from performance-enhancing drugs.

In other words, be sure to explain how the problem you describe fits the definition of the CAP. What methods could be used to address your issue (or are already being used to deal with it)? How successful are those methods likely to be in eradicating the CAP you have identified?
