End of Professional Sports

Was watching an interesting video by Sabine Hossenfelder regarding the science behind trans athletes:
I noticed near the end (starting at 13:54) she made some interesting comments where she suspects by the end of the century professional sports will likely not be a thing anymore. She says that with genetic engineering becoming reality there will be too many ways to manipulate ones genetics for profit motive that it likely will no longer be tenable as an industry.
What do you all think of this? Would genetic engineering become a more unfair version of doping. Will people care about physical performance as much in the future if with genetic engineering people can gain the same types of performance through genetic editing?
