The Case of the Spoilsports

inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective stories, the cartoon explores the issues of doping in Sport from a new angle.

The world famous pet detectives, Rattus Holmes and Dr Felis Watson, learn about UNESCO's role in anti doping and the importance of the International Convention against Doping in Sport whilst investigating the problem of doping in their local sport clubs. The story traces how two young athletes, the twins John and Tim Long, react differently to the pressures of competitive sport. Through these characters the audience is introduced to the substances and methods which are prohibited in sport, doping control procedures, the consequences of doping and a range of other important concepts. Without giving the game away or any more of the story. The game is a foot or in this case a paw.
