In response to the article provided by Dr. Mason,

"What types of enhancements are acceptable in human activities, either in competitive sports or elsewhere?"

The Olympic Games is a series of sporting activities which take place every four years. The main purpose is to provide a time period of peace between nations and promote amature athletics. When taking enhancements to improve sporting performance there is no designated line that shows what is just and injust but it all comes down to peoples morals and ethics. To take drugs which biologicaly affect the natural human functions does not seem to be fair when competing with athletes who are performing at their natural abilities. Looking at the ethos of the olympics of fair play, why should someone who has taken a drug to enhance their performance for a short gain win the gold when another athlete has trained all their life to make it to the olympics loose in an almost pre-decided competition.
