Well yes and no, notice the difference: In Formula 1 the engine size is not up to the team, it is a standard volume for every one, turbos or nitromethane are not allowed either, everything down to the last bolt must be according to regulation. In human sports drugs are not allowed, and so on. In fact I think more or less everything is regulated like that. Of cause there is no guarantee that you will win the 100 meter for men even if you do steroids, but your chances have increased (well mine would be zero either way;). I'm not sure if anyone has tested the elo-boost a chess program gains from running on twice as fast a system, but I'm sure it is not completely neglible. -S.
