Abstract

I recently discovered an unpublished manuscript in the library of my university, a text that studies the evolution of sport in the 21st and the early years of the 22nd century. This manuscript of unknown authorship was probably written by a philosopher and historian of sport just after the Olympic Games held in Brussels in 2144. As an introduction to a detailed description of this manuscript from the future, I will begin with a brief analysis of the current situation of enhancement in sport.
