# Horseracing: Racehorses in Britain will in future be tested for gene doping as part of an anti-doping programme. The British Horseracing Authority made the announcement after investing almost 50-million-rand in extensive research into detection methods. It says there is no evidence of the use of gene doping in racing, but it wants to protect the sport against future corruption risks. BBC Sports reports gene doping includes the use of genetic or cellular manipulation of DNA in an attempt to enhance athletic performance or aid recovery following exercise.
