29、 play. But in fact, sportsmen have been using drugs to cheat their way to victory since the Games first began.In the early years, athletes ate mushrooms(蘑菇)and plant seeds to improve their performance. Nowadays, this kind of cheating has a name doping(服用兴奋剂).Just last month, Britains top sprinter(赛跑
30、选手) Dwain Chambers and several American athletes tested positive(呈阳性)for the drug THG. Until a coach secretly gave a sample of THG to scientists, no one knew how ho test for it.“Were like cops(警察)chasing criminalsathletes are always adapting and looking for areas we havent investigated,” said Jacque
31、w de Ceaurriz, a French anti-doping expert.Since the first drugs test was carried out at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, many cheats have been caught out. The most famous case in history is that of Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson. He broke the 100 meters world record in winning gold at the 1988 Seou
32、l(汉城)Olympics. But days later, he tested positive for drug use, lost his gold medal and was banned from the sport. Five years later, he returned to actiononly to be found positive again and banned forever.China has also had problems with drug cheats. At the 1994 Asian Games, 11 Chinese athletesseven

Sports organizations promised that cheating on this scale would not happen again.Experts are also worried that doping can damage a persons health. It is believed to increase the risk of liver and kidney(肝肾)diseases, and women may experience reproduc
34、tive(生育) problems. As long as they can stay ahead of the scientists, it is unlikely the cheats will stop. But experts say there is a limit to what can be achieved and that athletes will not be able to change their bodies using gene(基因)technology.“For the moment, genetic doping does not exist,” said
35、de Ceaurriz. “Even in 10 or 15 years it will not be done easilythe scientific community(界)will not let it happen.”( ) 60.
