Stupid

OK, so a few years ago I came across an article about gene doping. Basically, it said that in the near future, people will be able to use gene therapy to do drastically more than steroids and whatnot. And, the new gene doping is almost un-traceable. I went on to say that you can gain muscle faster, heal faster, and bulk up faster with this new gene therapy. Then it went on to say that it is such a bad thing, because Athletes will abuse it, and it will undermine the competitive spirit of the game. To these people I say, “YOU are f@*&ing morons!”

OK, seriously! Sorry for the strong language, but I can really see nothing wrong with this. Yes, it is not gaining strength the usual way, and it will put people who do not use It at a disadvantage, but seriously. OK, so I have the opportunity to become stronger, heal faster from injuries, and generally be more healthy, and you want to tell me that I can’t because it will undermine the spirit of sport. What is wrong with people! OK, I am against steroids, they can cause cancer, and extreme violent moods swings, and a lot of other bad stuff. But I REALLY don’t care if some dude is getting stronger from them.

I don’t know the whole concept of; Man we should really control this substance. Because people may be way better off if we don’t; really pisses me off. If someone could have given me a drug that would have made me recover faster from dislocating my shoulder I would have been happy to take it. Assuming no crazy side effects.

So yeah, that is my take on it. I sometimes really have doubts about the whole, Spirit of competition.

Aright, well Here is a link to an article about gene doping. Let me know what you think.
