Wild Card's description
High profile athletes are accused of using performance enhancing nano drugs that are undetectable. There is a backlash from sporting authorities and the 'professional' sport is deemed nonsense. The effects (recreationally and financially) on society are catastrophic as the economy is hit hard and the public lose interest in sporting activities increasing obesity.
