Can technology make sports more equal, or does it only widen the gap between competitors?

Is technology fair? I think that technology can improve sports but also widen the gap, or it can fail. Sometimes it is also unfair.
The first example that supports my opinion is in motocross, you have gears and a clutch. Some riders have electric bikes so on the start, we have to pull in the clutch and get it to gear two. Electric bikers only have to go and it gives them a huge advantage without gears.
The second example that supports my opinion is super shoes. In 2017, Nike made a type of shoes that made athletes run faster. Another reason , is expensive training items, like better boots or a headband which keeps you cool whilst everyone else is really hot.
On the other hand, the ref could be rubbing his eyes and a goal is scored. A lot of the fans are screaming it's a foul. So all the ref has to do is run to VAR and say if it's a goal or a foul.
To conclude, I think that better technology maks sports easier,does it for you?
