Technological Doping

The point is that as time goes on the performance of the athletes are improving because of the ultra-technological equipment of athletes. 

In fact, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), established in 1999 by the International Olympic Committee it is pointing out that exists ‘the technologycal doping’ and with that you can obtein a competitive advantage using a sport equipment that is against the spirit of the sport.

There were a lot of cases of sport equipment which providing a better performance to the athletes like the LZR Racer water suit, which debuted at the 2008 Beijing Olympics with unprecedented success, as 98% of all medals at all swimming events were won by athletes wearing this suit, such as Michael Phelps.


In my opinion, I think that the tecnhologycal doping is not a bad idea, because if we desagree about that, we are stopping the development of the sport, and is not good for the future of the sport and the futures athletes.
