Wise up BBC journos, Bolt versus Gatlin is not a case of 'good versus evil' : Comments

By Chris Lewis, published 31/8/2015

With Bolt and Gatlin being the best male sprinters of Jamaica and the USA it is worth examining the performance of both for possible answers about the effectiveness of national drug testing programs.

Absolutely agree Chris, and it's high time we invested some real (research grants) money into beating these cheats at their own game!

Just not with performance enhancing drugs that may well have a plethora of serious side effects down the track? [Young age strokes being one of the possible serious side effects!?]

But performance enhancing genetic manipulation, and while WE still have an edge in that impossible to detect technology; and given just seemingly part of natural selection, not necessarily with any attendant undesireable side effects?

And simplicity itself in adding to the human physiology, with a hollowed out virus? As shown in some reported trials on rats?

Incidentally, I'm informed the genetic improvement and beneficial health side effects, (improved immune response, strength and endurance) well into old age, may be (intergenerational) transferable as seemingly normal DNA?

Not that I want to put the highly lucrative artificial joint/vascular surgery/big pharma industry out of business, but if no longer needed?

Able to quite massively reduce the demands made of a finite health budget!?

And the best possible case for some (sports medicine) funding grants right now!

Come on whats all this about. Corruption and dishonesty from the IOC down, rotten to the core. It is disgusting how professional sports are so bad!
Start with no organisation can be based in Switzerland. There they are protected from the cops and any sort of financial scrutiny and of course really it is all about the money.
Yes they arrested the Fifa officials with the Swiss coppers. The Swiss were there to protect not root out the perps, lol. Now a few heads will roll but the big head will Blatter his way out of everything.

The real issue is why do we care, it's a guy running around a track, as pointless and chasing a ball. fun to do but shouldn't be paid for it. where ever there is money there is corruption.

Better to redirect the millions to research that will actual improve peoples lives.
