Okay, so I've got a little nazi-esque line of thinking here.
Gonadotropin levels (FSH specifically) affect the production levels and quality of sperm. Now, I was thinking, might taking hCG or hMG--which increase the gonadotropins LH and FSH--while trying to get a woman pregnant result in "better" offspring?
If you have better, faster swimmers from using non-endogenous, injected gonadotropins, wouldn't the quality of the DNA being carried probably be better too? See, each spermy has a slightly different version of your DNA in its nucleus, so wouldn't better, faster swimmers carry copies of your DNA that are more intact, accurate than usual--than without the increased gonadotropin levels?
And wouldn't that mean you could increase the chances of having superior offspring by doping, relative to not doping, in this way?
