...method, known as the long-range haplotype (LRH) test, allows biologists to detect the process by which a gene that is favorable to survival becomes more frequent in a population—a process called positive gene selection...

Trouble is - as with many other banned substances, like human growth hormone - it is almost impossible to test for genetic or cell doping. To detect cell tinkering, for example, would likely require a biopsy. This leaves enforcement bodies, always one step behind the drug cheats, in a bind.

After all, every Aussie girl already knows that years of cavorting under the hole in the ozone layer have most likely given her skin an unattractive, leathery quality.
