On Wednesday, organizers announced the Enhanced Games — an Olympics-style event where doping is allowed — will take place in Las Vegas next year. Critics call it reckless; organizers say it’s a bold leap into the future of sport. Backed by Donald Trump Jr. and tech billionaire Peter Thiel, the Games will challenge anti-doping norms and traditional athleticsAthletes can compete naturally, self-enhance, or join clinical trials using FDA-approved experimental drugs. With a $1 million bonus for breaking records – and big names like ex-Olympian James Magnussen onboard – the Games are pushing ahead under the provocative slogan: Live Enhanced.
