A reality by the next Olympics? It's already here. Although gene therapy could replace or enhance many of the undetectable designer steroids athletes already use.
When I see a country like China that is walking away with the medal count, I don't believe it's simply a question of a country with a huge population, unlimited athletic funding and superior training.
Chinese athletes have been caught with the juice in the past. Now that masking techniques are so much better, most dopers can evade the system. It's certainly not just China. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the elite athletes at the games are taking some form of steroid or gene therapy.
