MENDEZ CASTILLO, JAIME ALBERTO e ARAQUE JARAMILLO, SANDRA MILENA. Approaches of the Industrial and Financial Medical Complex (IFMC) in tennis, cycling and boxing in Colombia. Salud, Barranquilla [online]. 2023, vol.39, n.3, pp.1208-1224. Epub 03-Jul-2024. ISSN 0120-5552. https://doi.org/10.14482/sun.39.03.951.753.
Since its beginnings in the mid-20th century in the United States of America, the imedical-industrial complex (MIC) has been finding different niches of accumulation and profitability as transformations have occurred in the global capitalist system. Sport is one of the scenarios in which the MIC has gradually come to operate with different actors, who in the 21st century is already accumulating millions of dollars at the expense of athletes, their stripped and exploited bodies, as well as their health and life. In this sense, the purpose of this article is to contribute to some reflections on the relationship between the MIC and sport as a social field of capitalist disputes.
