I didn't know about the robot weight lifting competition - that's cool.
The tetsujin competition is pretty sweet. I remember watching one of the older ones, with these big clunky exo's trying to ackwardly lift the weights. Half failed immensly, and the other half worked but weren't human shaped.

As for the future of sports, I think that my sport has the best policy. Being a Martial Artist, and training in MMA carries a lot of responsibility. At the proffessional level (the UFC and WEC, for example), the policy is that a single failed test results in immediate expulsion, and the ruining of the fighters career. It's my opinion (which is possibly flawed) that taking a hard stance on performance enhancing drugs is the only way to keep the competition human.

On the flip side, it would be cool to also have a side competition where doping is allowed...
