Technological doping in sports: The new frontier of competitive advantage


Author(s): Dr. Arif Khan L and Dr. A Mohammed Shafeek

Abstract:
A new frontier in the pursuit of competitive advantage is technical doping. It asks for a re-evaluation of the principles that guide sports and questions established ideas of justice. It will be more crucial than ever to have strong regulations and unambiguous ethical standards as athletes, coaches, and regulators navigate this changing environment. Technical doping, the use of advanced technologies to enhance athletic performance, has become a significant issue in the sports world. It involves devices, equipment, or substances that provide athletes with a performance advantage beyond natural human capability. The rise of technical doping presents ethical and regulatory challenges for sports governing bodies, as it undermines the principle of equal opportunity and diminishes the value of athletic achievements. Regulating technical doping is complicated by the rapid pace of technological innovation, and distinguishing between acceptable advancements and those that constitute technical doping can be subjective. Supporters argue that technological advancements can enhance the overall experience of sports, while opponents argue that it undermines the essence of athletic competition. Striking a balance between embracing innovation and preserving the integrity of sports is crucial. Governing bodies, athletes, and stakeholders must collaborate to develop clear guidelines that ensure a fair and level playing field for all competitors.
