PEDs Welcome: The One-Day Las Vegas Event That Challenges Clean-Sport Norms

A one-day Las Vegas competition called the Enhanced Games allows supervised use of performance-enhancing drugs, pulling in 42 athletes (including Olympians) with a 12-week PED trial in Abu Dhabi where 36 participated and 34 used PEDs. The event offers a $25 million prize pool, including $250,000 per event and a $1 million bonus for world-records, prompting sharp condemnation from WADA/IOC while backers argue it creates a level playing field and bigger financial incentives for athletes.
