    In this day of "over achievement" the Olympics is redundant, and at best moot.
    No longer the "Olympics", it's crass commercialism is repugnant, and reeks of cronyism.
    Bye, Bye, Olympics.

    I hope this would never happen in Olympic Games,but we can use this method to cure cancer and other disease.Maybe the specialist will find a way to test Geng Doping soon.

    Ever since the dawn of civilization, many human beings have been notorious cheats. We cheated to survive in the earlier years of our history. We then cheated to live a more comfortable life and securing greater power. Gradually we turn fraudulent in practically all endeavors to gain fame, status and wealth.

    In the 2008 Beijing Olympics opening ceremony, the IOC chief declared NO DOPING, NO CHEATING. Yet, up till now, several drug taking cases have already been discovered. Before tests for doping became compulsory and efficient, the use of drugs to enhance performance was rampant. Nowadays it is done in much subtler ways.

    Genetic manipulation is a fact. Genetic doping can happen too, it is just a matter of time. After all, the glory of winning an Olympic medal would be too great a temptation for a normal soul to avoid.

    are you crazy, I have not seen any successful gene therapy around. IV injection of the stem cell can alter DNA?, give me a break. Anyone write this article should know science better.
