A more open-minded approach to sporting events and athletes is needed.
I recently chaired a panel at the first conference of human enhancement at the House of Lords in the U.K. Parliament. Sponsored by Lord Stone of Blackheath, it was organized by Enhanced Games, a new organization that aims to outdo the Olympics by putting on sport events where athletes enhance themselves with drugs to compete better than their natural abilities.
'Athletes face this same punishing discrimination. And many of them know it's nearly impossible to compete at a high level without drugs. In one study, 44 percent of athletes were said to have used enhancing drugs, despite only approximately 2 percent ever being caught. A keynote speaker at the House of Lord's human enhancement conference said that over 50 percent of high level marathon runners in Kenya have used some type of enhancement to compete more successfully.
