Dopey competition.In "Gene Doping Gene doping is defined by the World Anti-Doping Agency as "the non-therapeutic use of cells, genes, genetic elements, or of the modulation of gene expression, having the capacity to improve athletic performance". " (SN: 10/30/04, p. 280), you wondered, "Should gene enhancement, or doping doping, in electronics: see semiconductor. Altering the electrical conductivity of a semiconductor material, such as silicon, by chemically combining it with foreign elements. , be permissible for athletes attempting to improve their performance?" Sure, but in separate competitions. Athletes would register as either "doped" or "clean." The problem with doping is not the doping, it's the cheating.
