From Michael Farr
Millions of dollars are spent identifying gene therapies that increase human performance so that people can be prevented from using them (10 December, p 6).
How about we forget the drug-free ideal in sport, which seems to be a farce, and allow athletes to be sponsored by biopharmacy companies. Such a move would help ensure rapid development of beneficial therapies. May the best genes win.
