Gene Doping and Beijing 2008
Posted by Nick
Interesting piece from Reuters on gene doping and sports:
Genetic doping is unlikely to be an issue at the Athens Olympics in August or the Turin Winter Games in 2006, but it could be a problem come Beijing in 2008.
"It's a realistic problem which we may have to face, but not today," said Dr Bengt Saltin, director of the Centre for Muscle Research at Copenhagen University and a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) science committee.
"The Beijing Olympics would be the earliest possible occasion."
