I've been watching the Olympics and it's no doubt that these athletes are all incredible physical specimens but do you think they should be allowed any biomedical enhancements to help with recovery and training?

I personally don't think they should be allowed any biomedical enhancements, part of the reason that being a world class athlete is so elite is because they don't need any sort of enhancements to help them. They have a training and recovery program that makes them the best without needing those things.

When you say biomedical enhancements what are you talking about exactly OP?I guess my answer would depend on that but in general I don't think they should be allowed any sort of enhancements. They are the best of the best for a reason and I think that would really change things.

Yes and no. I think elite athletes need some extra enhancements to function at that level that they do. On the other hand, it may be unfair to athletes from poorer countries who may not be able to afford the same care.
