technology doping?

::majulah sukan untuk negara::

hulloh.

kat the star hari ni ada artikel pasal a swimsuit company saman speedo (another swimsuit company) pasal x menggalakkan persaingan sihat antara diorg. apparently speedo produced LZR RACER that claims can help to push you further in terms of swimming. since mid-february, about 37 new world records have been set by the wearers. gilaaaaaa.

ada org kata, technology has become a new form of 'dope'. tah la, aku x baca sgt pasal the ground (or should i say, record-?)-breaking technology speedo adopted to its new design, tapi kalau betul it can improve your strokes by 2%, better guna kan? oo iye, hence the lawsuit. kalau mcm tu, mcm mana dgn sport shoes? tiba2 teringat iklan puma yg tunjuk in the near future, soccer players use mechanical, metal gear solid lookalike legs in game, but in the meantime, there's puma.

which brings me back to the stuffs used in sports. kalau tgk bola pun, every epl akan ada satu bola baru yg diperkenalkan, yg kononnya "membuatkan tendangan lagi tepat, persis dan jitu". itu x dikira mcm sama kes mcm speedo tu ke? salah ke kalau guna barang2 yg akan improve our performance? if we were to use that philosophy in our daily life, hidup mcm zaman batu le jadinya.

lagi satu, kalau betul teknologi tu brings out the best of us, malaysia pun patut pakai bola tu, pakai kasut tu, pakai jersey tu, baru boleh maju.... err ke x? tapi nanti ada masalah baru dr segi kewangan lak kan. so much of essence of purity and integrity in sports.

hmm kalau kita x nak teknologi mengaburi mata kita ttg performance seseorang, senang je: x yah guna apa2 peralatan langsung. sume org main berkaki ayam, main pakai tangan. err in case of swimmers... uih bahaya tu. ye la, dah nak sgt komersilkan sukan.

speaking of which, lee chong wei menang tadi lawan lin dan. cayalah lengchai! after all these years, you still prove you da man... kalau dpt piala thomas tahun ni mmg best aah. i'm rooting for you. to others, contohilah chong wei.

ok chiow.
