Genetic Doping Is the Next Frontier of Cheating
Genetic Doping Is the Next Frontier of Cheating
The change in muscle performance for an elite athlete could be substantial. The actual effect would depend on a number of factors (including the intensity of training), but in tests, lab rats who were injected and then made to do resistance exercises increased their muscle mass by 15 percent on top of what they would have normally achieved with exercise alone. More important to an athlete, the effects could last for years, if not decades. Researchers tested it on monkeys some 15 years ago and still haven't seen the induced changes drop off.
Dr. Charles Yesalis, a professor emeritus at Penn State who's researched performance-enhancing drugs, says he expects this "cascade" method of doping — in which athletes trick their bodies into releasing more of something that would increase performance — will become increasingly common as new advances are made. And while he says there are different ways athletes could use such a method, "The No. 1 thing that comes to mind is genetic doping."

Behold the X-Men!
ReplyDeleteAmazing!
ReplyDeleteThere were strong rumours some of the Chinese athletes were already using these techniques in 2012. We may see some records totally destroyed next time round.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand does this have anything to do with steroids or some type of ped. Or is it just resistance training.
ReplyDeleteThey call it "Doping" but all it is is "Developing". Why all the witch hunting?
ReplyDeleteMaybe they have nothing better to do but watch the rise and fall of man....
