Las Vegas to host PED-powered Enhanced Games with $25M prize
TL;DR Summary
Las Vegas hosts the Enhanced Games this Sunday, a PED-friendly competition funded by investors including Peter Thiel and Donald Trump Jr., offering a $25 million purse and $1 million for world-records. Organizers released drug-use data showing about 90.5% of tested athletes used substances across five categories (testosterone, HGH, stimulants, metabolic modulators, and more) under FDA oversight. The event has drawn sharp criticism from IOC/WADA and has led to bans from Olympic- or World Athletics-sanctioned events, though supporters push it as a transparent, medicalized showcase of performance enhancement.
