Steroids old news for edge seekers (2005, 19 Feb) The Seattle Post, by Ted Miller [link]

'Gene-doping, myostatin inhibitors and germ-line therapy' are the focus for this article. The author touches on the usual examples - Schwarzengger/Marathon mice, the 'Wonder Baby' German boy, and Lee Sweeney's work. The article is generally suspicious about these prospects, though acccepts that the technological imperative is likely to render all conversations about testing rather redundant.
