The Doping Arms Race as Prisoner's Dilemma

I'm going to stand on the sideline as history rewrites athletic records.  I think the issue of doping in sports falls into the same category as politics and religion.  Rather than start an argument I'll let my readers defend their positions.

 

Athletes using drugs can test and beat today's drug tests but they cannot predict the future tests that might be used to test samples saved years earlier.  So it seems we will continue to have records rewritten as future drug tests are developed to uncover cheating.  Bruce Schneier calls doping in sports a Classic Prisoner's Dilemma.  Bruce Schneier updated his 2006 article which you can read in Wired Magazine.
