Technological Innovation and Social Change

BBC - Radio 4 - History On this wbsite for a while, "The Long View" broadcastb Oct 14, contains a marvellous discussion of CHEATING AND DRUGS IN SPORT. This uses the historical case of Choppy Warburton, cycling guru (Svegali more like) of the 1890's as a basis to discuss issues. There is even a very rare instance of a little airtime given to the view that performance enhancement could be OK - that the case against blanket bans is very naive. Nothing about non-enhancing recreational drugs though (presumably soem might boost chess - stimulants for example).
