Sport has denied use of harmful drugs, should it deny athletes surgical improvements? An extra elbow tendon for MLB pitcher, knee of NFL lineman, greater lung capacity for endurance athlete or sharper vision (lasik) for all?

how about brain transplants because if this was aloud a whole lot of cyclists wouldn't have gotten themselves into s**t they did! If the scare crow got one why can't Riccardo "The Cobra" Ricco?

In all fairness, most of the athletic surgery I've heard of is to repair damage, not to improve on an undamaged body.

whoops - didn't see the LA shortened shoulders article. Oh this is terrible. We must ban surgical improvements, or April 1, I can't decide which.
