.................a gene therapy developed by the British biotech Oxford Biomedica as a treatment for severe anaemia.

The company has since pulled the plug on developing the product as it seemed unlikely to be profitable as a medicine.

That says a lot doesn't it? So the company won't fund its development any longer as they cannot profit from it; if this is a medicine which is likely to be effective then surely UK government funding from say, overseas aid, can be diverted to develop this drug for the benefit of those needing it in the UK (for starters).

Jacques Rogge is now on a heavy state of nervousness, and so did the corpse of the late Juan Antonio Samaranch, Both are yelling: "NO! What on earth has become of the modern olympians?"

The above might sound like science fiction ... but probably right now in laboratories in some countries scientists are busy trying to build the perfect athlete. The way science is advancing, some day somewhere it will be BINGO! Our perfect male athlete and our perfect female athlete. !

Then ... Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Wonder Woman and the rest will have no chance whatsoever against the undetectable perfectly genetically modified athlete.
