The drug enhanced playing field would never be even. Some people would take even more, or would take different drugs. If everyone agreed to do the same thing, there would be an incentive to cheat, much like there is now. My basic point is that sports lose their meaning when they become about who's willing to take the most drugs, and my prediction is that in as early as 10 years, performance events will begin to become so polluted with drug enhanced or geneticly enhanced athletes that they cease to be competitive in a purely athletic sense.
