France, where a whole team has been disqualified for failing to pass the
anti-doping tests, we started to talk about sports in general in 20XX. Which
leads me to ask, what has happened to sports in the awakened world?
I don't mean urban brawl/desert war type sports that seem to abound, but the
ol' fashion Olympic stuff. Are the Olympic games still held? Do the
cyber/bio fiends compete against un-enhanced (well, except for the usual
chemical stimulant ;) mundanes, or is there a separate competition for each?
Would magic be allowed in sports and to what extent? I can see how in any
contact sport, teams would benefit from having magical healing on hand, but
what other uses would it have....uummm, legally that is :) The spirit power
of movement seems ideally suited for use and abuse in the sports world :)
Have the national sports changed in 20XX, or are football, baseball and
soccer still the giant crowd pullers they are now?
I'm sorry if this is general knowledge on the list, but here in Spain we
have a hard time getting hold of SR material (most) that hasn't been translated.
