As a libertarian, I think the only thing wrong with the use of drugs to enhance sports performance is the surreptitious nature of it, i.e. the unfairness of 'clean' athletes believing they are competing fairly with other (supposedly clean) athletes who are actually doped.<br /><br />It will be increasingly difficult in future to police performance-enhancing technologies, particularly with genetic engineering and nanotechnology. It would be interesting, I think, to see just what the human body is capable of with the aid of such technologies, and rather than ban them completely, we should move to differentiating between 'enhanced' and 'non-enhanced' performances, in the same way that various categories of disability are differentiated at the Paralympics.Kiwiwithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10507667837257013301noreply@blogger.com
