For those curious about the latest in “peak performance” surreptitious technology, I recommend reading today’s article in the New York Times:
Highlighted here is how preparing for the Olympics is no longer limited to physical and mental training. Of course, surreptitious tactics are well documented with chemical enhancement, most notably in cycling and baseball, though most likely in many other sports as well. Athletes are now even willing to allow “doctors” to insert chemically altered genes into their bodies with the hope of improving their performance.
Deceptive strategies aside, I still espouse the talented, hard-working and “pure” athletes who are willing to line up against the best in the world without chemical additives, medical enhancements or James Bond tactics.
