An Olympics-style games where athletes will be allowed to use performance-enhancing drugs has been revealed, with Donald Trump Jr. among the financial backers.
The event is scheduled for 21-24 May 2026 at Resorts World in Las Vegas and will see athletes allowed to use PEDs under medical observation.
Founded by Australian entrepreneur Aron D’Souza, organisers call the inaugural Enhanced Games an opportunity for “superhumanity”.
“We are pioneering a new era in athletic competition that embraces scientific advancements to push the boundaries of human performance,” claims the website.
Athletes will compete in racing, weightlifting and swimming, with full access and even encouragement to drugs and therapies banned in other professional arenas. They will also compete for up to US$500,000 in prizemoney per event.
An additional US$1 million is on the cards for those able to break the records in the 50-metre freestyle swimming or 100-metre sprint race.
James Magnussen, a retired Australian Olympic swimmer, has recently lost out on that money in February after rival swimmer Kristian Gkolomeev broke the world record at an Enhanced Games-run competition pool, while on PEDs.
