Gene Doping: Super Athletes in 2008 Beijing Olympics

[nyc42stend]

Normal muscle use results in microscopic tears to the muscle tissue,which triggers a process of regeneration―not the production of new muscle fibers to replace the old,but the patching up of existing fibers.In investigating how muscles repair themselves in this way,reserchers have identified a pro-growth factor they call insulin-like growth factor 1,and an anti-growth factor,myostain,which respectively encourage and discourage muscle cell division and protein production.

really?

[TheMrwright91]

People thought steroids in sports was huge just give gene doping a few years...

I think eventually we will be designing ourselves and our kids.

[nazirdjon]

just remember this: everything has its price. wanna be a super athlete? - gotta pay the price.  i hope idiots won't create "iamlegend" lol

[leroysky96]

I hope they know what they are doing, because we become the ultimate lab rats in the end .

[leroysky96]

Genetically modified foods have been proven to make the eater resistant to anti-biotics,so I would say that it could be life threatening in some situations.-nut.

[leroysky96]

Clones have been proven to have shorter lifespans than normal subjects ; if we eat the fruit of perverted genetics our lifespans could become shorter .

[DMalenfant1]

I am sure we will find a way of perfecting it, it is only a matter of time.

Besides I wouldn't believe everything the government dishes out.

[MrAnimeFreak777]

lol Iamlegend will happen again. its a virus...

[swimmer4ever200687]

if pehlps see this vid , or bernard , they will cry to death .

[SonsOfGod]

Just one name comes to mind when I see this video: MICHAEL PHELPS, THE BIG CHEATER.

[swimmer4ever200687]

the big hero , but not that big ,,

i think he was Wr holder when he was 16 that is really good , but 8 medals , at least 3 of them would be out if he doesnt dope 100 200 fly , 4x100 free .

but the problem is others also dope .

[celts1984]

usain bolt i would say also insane numbers there putting uo

[turnbacktime]

usain is natural because if they decide to gene dope somone he certainly wont be jamaican.

[Katabatic24]

Think of the possibilities. We should strive to correct the fact that humans are physically pathetic.

[Oxygaunt]

Well said. Finally we can take control.

[TirnanUFC]

@Katabatic24 Idiot

[gurt1337]

While the benefits are tempting, the price can be fatal. Furthermore, where's the place for Pierre de Coubertin's words, that it's the competition that matters the most?

[markherrick]

just4you2watch knows NOTHING about sexy voices. Yea i love his voice yea.

[CelestialKindred]

Ironically, German media fabricated news to accuse Chinese of doping without any proof.

Be wary, western media, you are losing credibility and becoming stinky among the people.

[YC1987PE]

@CelestialKindred ironically the germans are also the first ones to have innovated a reliable method of detecting gene doping with a simple blood test. Here is the article. Im not arguing against your point your probably right, but you may also find this interesting. medicalnewstoday . com/articles/199886.php

[pph2000]

Talk about cheating in Olympics? Haha, your athletes even feed doping to their horses. Do you know how to spell this words, s-h-a-m-e-l-e-s-s?

[markherrick]

I think the guy who voiced this sounds so sexy. I bet he likes it - yea. Does anyone know how i can contact him or if he does parties?

[TheGreeeen]

What if this Virus mutates and kills the rest of the worlds human beings? Id say "I Am Legend"

[naskot]

Wow can't wait to try this.

[Freeman101]

thats sick.

stop playing god !

[Padstack31]

There is no such thing as god.

[waster125]

hmmm really? I was almost certain that a concept of God has been established.

[DieSchlechte]

well of course the CONCEPT of god has been established... but that does not lead to the definite EXISTENCE of such a conceptual being, as was what I inferred from Pad's comment.

Now, you could retort by saying that you inferred something different by the comment, but I'm under the impression you didn't. You're just trying to be difficult.

[waster125]

waster125 is the name, devil's advocate is the game.

[nadandoenloprofundo]

I don´t know about that, but what I do wonder is if they happen to have kids, will they inherit the parents modified DNA structure?

[AMOVIEROOM]

Humm, Something 2think about passing it N their DNA! Man I was so hyped about the Olympics I could hardly W8 4it! I've been watching day/night. I've done this for years. Dragging N2 work staying up late no sleep, I love it, I DVR it, diff stations @ once. Transferring it 2DVD watching online. BTW I never watch sports of any kind during the year, oh, except boxing. Which the scoring for all countries was messed up. But my faith N the Olympics are crashing fast! Just like the dopers will! *SMH*

[nadandoenloprofundo]

Welcome to the genetic era.

[turnbacktime]

yes

[emrandles]

@nadandoenloprofundo No they won't as gene therapies currently only target somatic cells (body cells) and not germ cells (sperm and egg cells), so they will not be passed onto their children.

[WadzillaBhoy]

@nadandoenloprofundo No, sperm cells aren't altered

[lyo66]

im want be stronger and faster
