Foul Play?

The article talks about how scientists have found out that genes can affect with athletes when they take steroids to better in sports.
It explains that some persons don't produce proteins because of some gens that can be missing, so at the time that the drug tests are being done, then it can happen that the people that took them don't get in trouble and that the person that doesn't can: "That's what happens in this case. Scientists in Sweden found that some people completely lack the gene that produces the protein UGT2B17. It's an enzyme that prepares testosterone to be flushed from the body in the urine. They then showed how this genetic variation could affect the outcome of doping tests."
It also explains that testosterone is hormone that makes changes in boys when they are passing throgh puberty, so that a lot of steroids are made of it.
To know if testerone is from steroids or if it is from the normal one produced by the body, scientist check the ratios of chemicals in the urine.
So this is a way to find out if athletes are cheating or if it's just a confussion.

I think this is a really good idea, because if one athlete is taking drugs to be better and be a cheater, but he doesn't get caught because of the natural production of testosterone in his body, and he gets in trouble because of that, is something really unfair, especially if another athlete that has been doing drugs doesn't get caught.
So this method can make it all a lot more fair for everyone, knowing that the results will be exact so that they wouldn't be any more injustices, because I think that by now, some of these things are already happening and it has to be stopped, because if someone is trying really hard and always practicing to be better, it would be really unfair is he or she gets out of a competition, and a cheater wins.
