I'm of split opinion on this. On the one had I would like to see athletic achievement be the result of only what the person's body, talent, and work ethic is capable of, without external enhancement. But where do you draw the line? Gatorade is a performance enhancer, if you want to get right down to it. The red blood cell concentration idea seems somewhat clever to me. Probably not explicitly banned, either, at least not initially. You could achieve at least a partly similar effect "naturally" by training at high altitude.
