It sounds a bit similar to a talk we had a while ago here in Oxford:

Pieter argued on existentialist grounds that the doping regimen limits 
sports and athletes, forcing them into a narrow and traditional concept 
of the "good", "pure" and "human". He suggests instead “virtuous 
exploration of bodily virtuosity” – a playful existence where we 
responsibly explore biology as an open system using sport.
