Full help of technology is registered in performance maximising. When physics is put to good use, why not use chemistry? It is argued that the use of performance enhancing drugs give an unfair advantage to the user. If the use of these drugs is legitimised, and all are allowed to use them, there will be no unfair advantage to anyone. Unfairness is there in many forms. Does every sportsperson have the means to buy equipment and machinery?
Sportspersons of many countries cannot afford all that. Don't the affluent countries have unfair advantage? There are sports persons who cannot buy essential food items with proper nutrients. Where are equal opportunities for all? Many countries cannot afford expert coaches and the infrastructure required. In the affluent west, there is one coach, one manager, one physician, one dietician and one physiotherapist for each competitor.

Less affluent countries have hardly one set of these experts for an entire team of sportspersons competing in various disciplines. Where is equality? Where is justice?

You cannot obviously have two Olympics, one for rich countries and one for the poor. Equal opportunity is a myth. Doping tests are doing more injustice than justice.
