SUPERHUMAN ATHLETES

Abstract

[...]it can shed light on the purely technical question: if performance-enhancing techniques were allowed, how far could the human body go? POWER PILLS For strength and power, the best-known drugs are probably those in the vast family of anabolic steroids, a group that is constantly expanding as the structures get slight modifications in a bid to evade detection in drug tests. According to Herr, performance-enhancing technologies will advance to a point at which they will not only extend human limits, they will demand an Olympics all of their own.
