Athletes could be next, with some experts fearing that genetic or cell doping could surface as early as the Olympic Games in Athens in 2004. Says Charles Yesalis, a professor of exercise and sport science at Pennsylvania State University: "This is a brewing storm of potentially great magnitude." Trouble...
