Coming soon, the Mutant Olympics
As the Olympics gets closer we're gearing up to cover some of the more interesting technologies and gadgets used- not only at the event, but part of the training. One thing we'd like to officially go on record saying- This is the last year that there will be non-modified humans competing. We're predicting that "Gene Doping"
will be common place and we're about to see all the world records get completely shattered and there isn't going to be a way to prove if someone mod'ed their genes. New gene therapy techniques are allowing people with degenerative muscle conditions to gain back muscle, strength and recover rapidly, but of course the first thing that will really happen is athletes will use the same technologies to gain super-human muscle, speed and endurance. A lot of folks in the scientific arenas are saying there's no way to stop this, or detect this, we agree. In fact we have a way to solve this and basically create a new category in sports- the Mod Class.
The Mod Class is a classification for "anything goes"- gene therapy, growth hormones, steroid, whatever you want to do. We think people will LOVE to watch this, it'll be like watching an action film or a comic book, all these folks breaking world records, leaping 50 feet. There is still of course regular human class, and if someone starts to dominate that category, they get moved in to the Mod Class. So, if you're an Olympic team, plan on making yourselves mutants and would like to talk about being sponsored for 2008, please let us know.
