GlaxoSmithKline is helping to keep steroids out of the upcoming Olympics:
GSK will be running an anti-doping lab at the games, and every single medalist and at least 50 percent of the athletes in general will be tested for banned substances, making this summer’s crop of competitors the most tested ever.
Despite these efforts, Julian Savulescu argues that doping is inevitable:
The war on doping must inevitably fail, because the incentive for the athletes is just too high. The potential profit is huge, the chance of getting caught is rather small and largely a question of money. Rich teams can buy the latest, almost undetectable substances and evade detection, others cannot. The biggest loser is the honest athlete who does not dope and as a consequence cannot compete anymore.
