Earlier this month, the Biden White House issued a statement joining both the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in expressing "its deep concerns over…the planned 'Enhanced Games' without anti-doping requirements." Are such concerns really warranted? No.
"Why not solve the future problem of gene doping and the current problem of steroid use in professional sports by creating two kinds of sports leagues?" I asked way back in 2005. "One would be free of genetic and pharmacologic enhancements—call them the Natural Leagues. The other would allow players to use gene fixes and other enhancements—call them the Enhanced Leagues."
