The Fact Of The Matter Is That Technology Does Not Currently Allow Us To

The fact of the matter is that technology does not currently allow us to achieve the former and the competitive features of human nature will not let us achieve the latter. the corollary of that statement is that we will therefore have to learn to live with doping cheats and accept that the idea of drug-free sport is realistically little more than a pipe dream. The old fashioned concept of fair play and good sportsmanship effectively died with the first bad looser (Parker & Lawton 2003)
