Discoveries in the fields of physiology and pharmacology over the past hundred years have accelerated the widespread use of doping by individual athletes as a means of performance improvement in their sports. Despite the scandals that resulted in the deaths of many athletes and the ethical questions, this issue is still unsolved. Rather than being eliminated, the practice of doping appears to have shifted deeper underground, and illegitimated new methods are still being found to improve performance. The latest and the most sophisticated one is called "gene doping". The aim of this study is to draw attention to the problems of this latest doping method in the context of ethics in sports. The main results that have been drawn from this study can be summarized as follows: Genetic engineering is still immature. They can there. At the same time, such a expensive technology will mostly be accessed by wealthy athletes. Furthermore, athletes who refuse genetic intervention due to their religious beliefs will not be able to compete with genetically doping athletes. This means that the opportunity for fair competition in the elite sport will disappear.
