Seems to have the unexamined assumption that the "steroid Olympics" will overtake all sport; that there will be no further interest in the exploits of the unenhanced, "natural" human athletes.
Embrace diversity: there's room enough for all us freaks, int there? We can have "special Olympics" without people amputating limbs to compete; we should be able to have "cyborg Olympics" for those that want powered grafts.

Given that doping seems to be nearly universal in professional sports already, that doesn't seem like a completely insane conclusion. I think the issue is that you'll have the current covert doping, and a new "super-doping" class. Obviously if you can make it in the 'no doping' end of things you'll do that, so who is going to sign up to shred their organs for cash? The poor, the unsuccessful and the past-their-prime seems likely.
