There’s a lot of innovative sports gear that’s been prohibited because it gives athletes an unfair edge. For example, swimsuits that make swimmers glide more efficiently, gloves that boost a receiver’s grip, bats that allow for more powerful hits, and shoes that make runners faster than ever before.
This practice is called “TECH DOPING”—using advanced gear to get an unfair upper hand. In this video, I’ll walk you through the banned equipment you won’t be seeing at the Paris Olympics and the cutting-edge tech that’s pushing the boundaries of what’s still allowed.
You might be thinking, “Wait, shouldn’t athletes be on an even playing field with no equipment advantages?” But let’s be real—we’re not running barefoot or swimming without suits anymore. Technology is woven into sports, constantly evolving, and expanding the limits of what athletes can achieve.

Wait until we can install Sandevestan😂
remember if you cut a shoe in half, use a scalpel for the upper and the saw only for the sole
I am an above the knee amputee and prosthetist. I volunteered at a national amputee volleyball tournament. Prosthetist ready to repair/adjust prosthetic limbs during the tournament.
The night before the tournament, I received a call that 3 players' arms were too long! I needed to shorten them between 1/2" to 3/4" to meet regulations 😮
The shark skin swim suit is $15000 and can only be worn a few times! Not many athletes can afford it,that makes it unfair!
"She's getting hot". No brother she started that way.
I find it hilarious that a company that is ok with slave labour is so willing to use the word "moral" in any context at all. Actually made me giggle.
Honestly we should have a segment where sponsors' tech can be showcased because I kinda agree with Nike with this "it'll Stifle innovation." Because companies care about returns and out competing the next best. bumping up 65% by +15% is crazy good and that's very good for the innovator because the returns are excellent
Consensus: make a separate bit that isn't eligible for records but absolutely show allow it to be shown
Great video, Cleo's energy is infectious!
I do agreed with Olympic, if the shoe gave the sport player a competitive advantage, they should allow everyone to use. It will be unfair if only 1 person can use it
