Gene doping, a little ways into the article
Gene doping, a little ways into the article
We're still a ways off from this and it's VERY VERY VERY illegal for the time being. The battle over 3-parent children (father/mother/mitochondrial parent) going on in the UK right now will likely decide what direction we (as a society) go in the 22nd century.
No one has done anything like this in humans. It is not trivial to switch model systems. Anyone born right now will not need to worry about competing against gene dopers.
Also, I'm stunned and amazed that article didn't mention GATTACA anywhere. C'mon!

They already covered this with the biological passport.
You can't change your genes without getting caught.
