Fair point, although taking drugs is a voluntary decision, whereas having no legs wasn't - perhaps we should only be concerned if people start having amputations to increase their performance

On a more serious note, perhaps a separate category for 'assisted' athletes, as 'disabled' becomes a little meaningless if prosthetics can mean they perform better than 'able bodied' athletes??
