Doped athletes and rich prizes: The Enhanced Games is here
Athletes including Australian swimmer James Magnussen will take part in the Enhanced Games – a competition that freely allows doping.
This weekend in Las Vegas, athletes including Australian swimmer James Magnussen will take part in the Enhanced Games – a competition that freely allows doping.
It’s the creation of controversial Australian entrepreneur Aron D’Souza, and it’s bankrolled by Peter Thiel and one of Donald Trump’s sons.
The competition has enticed athletes with huge cash prizes – and is, in turn, selling the performance-enhancing drugs those athletes will experiment with.
