While gene doping and other technological means of sport enhancement have become a topic of ethical debate, a major outcome from genomic research in sports is often linked to the regulation of doping. In particular, researchers within the field of anti-doping science, a regulatory science that aims to develop scientific solutions for regulating doped athletes, have conducted genomic research on anabolic-androgenic steroids. Genomic knowledge on anabolic-androgenic steroids, a knowledge base that has been produced to improve doping regulation, has caused the 'geneticization' of cultural objects such as ethnic identities and dietary habits. Through examining how anti-doping genomic knowledge and its media representation unnecessarily reify cultural objects in terms of genomics, I argue that Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications (ELSI) research programs in human enhancement should include the social impacts of anti-doping science in their discussions. Furthermore, this article will propose that ELSI scholars begin their academic analysis on anti-doping science by engaging with the recent ELSI scholarship on genomics and race and consider the regulatory and political natures of anti-doping research.
虽然基因兴奋剂和其他增强运动能力的技术手段已成为伦理辩论的话题，但体育领域基因组研究的一个主要成果往往与兴奋剂管制有关。特别是，反兴奋剂科学领域的研究人员，这是一门旨在为管制使用兴奋剂的运动员开发科学解决方案的监管科学，已经对合成代谢雄激素类固醇进行了基因组研究。关于合成代谢雄激素类固醇的基因组知识，这是为改善兴奋剂管制而产生的知识库，已经导致了诸如种族身份和饮食习惯等文化对象的“基因化”。通过研究反兴奋剂基因组知识及其在媒体上的呈现如何不必要地从基因组学角度使文化对象具体化，我认为人类增强方面的伦理、法律和社会影响（ELSI）研究项目应在讨论中纳入反兴奋剂科学的社会影响。此外，本文将提议ELSI学者通过参与最近关于基因组学和种族的ELSI学术研究，开始对反兴奋剂科学进行学术分析，并考虑反兴奋剂研究的监管和政治性质。
