The most famous case in history is that of

22、 Can adia n spri nter Ben Joh nson.He broke the 100 metres world record in wi nning gold at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. But days later, he tested positive for drug use, lost his gold medal and was banned from the sport. Five years later, he retur ned to action, only to be found positive aga in and bann

23、ed forever.Sports orga ni zati ons promised that cheat ing on this scale would not happe n aga in.Experts are also worried that dop ing can damage a pers on's health. It is believed to in crease the risk of liver and kid ney diseases, and wome n may experie nce reproductive problems.As long as t

24、hey can stay ahead of the scie ntists, it is un likely 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 technology.“ For the moment, genetic doping does not exist ， said de Ceaurriz. “ Even in 10 or 15

30、ake sure that students pass the mastery test or even more money will be lost. If students fail the state standardized test, it is not the fault of drama and music classesthey are failing because the “ academic classes are not sufficient.It is painful to think of how many students will be discouraged
