Every high end sport should have athletes with a support team of scientists and engineers pushing the limit of human capacity.
Think of it more like F1 racing than running naked at the high end.

Baseball roid era effectively shortened the length of the outfield. Golf today is going through a similar issue with pros hitting the new high tech drivers a lot further than when they built these tournament golf courses. Hazards like bunkers on a golf hole are placed based on where you might hit your drive and now the pros are just sailing over them making it easy for themselves. There’s now talk of deadening the golf ball to compensate.
