Techno-Doping and Olympic Sport?

Listen Tuesday, Jul. 1, 2008 at 1:06 p.m. in Science, Sports

The world of competitive swimming is divided over a new high-tech swimsuit -- a device that's helping athletes break records all over the world. The swimsuit's defenders say it's just part of the sport's natural evolution. But critics are accusing those who use the suit of "techno-doping." Join Kojo as we explore the controversy, and how it links sport, technology and business.
