      Hello.

      It probably could be done. There’s already a term for it: genetic doping. Some people worry this will be the future of doping in sport. It’s an incredibly complex topic area.

      I suppose those they’d be called genetically modified athletes. Prince Charles wouldn’t like it 😀 He’d campaign for organic athletes!
