For those of you who don't know:
the Enhanced Games, a controversial new event (often called "doped-up athletics") that explicitly allows athletes to use performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) under medical supervision. Launched in 2024-2025, it's pitched as a "no-limits" alternative to traditional clean sport, with events in track & field, swimming, and more. The idea has sparked massive debate about ethics, health risks, and the future of athletics—especially since it directly challenges anti-doping bodies like WADA.
Ref: Grok
Basically it's just like regular athletics just with a few more drugs involved.
Will it be much more, who knows???
But we all know that the sports are already riddled with drugs across the board and that teams have been finding new ways to get around the rules for years.
It's a well documented fact.
So why not just let them use all the aids that they want and put everybody on a level field....
In theory it makes sense. I can see the vision behind the idea and to be honest would probably enjoy watching people compete at their very highest level without the sneaking and the hiding.
In reality it will probably show us who was already doping up since the opportunity has always been there for athletes but i can't see many people who have resisted the temptation for all of their career and fought against uneven odds suddenly deciding that they want to pump their bodies full of these poisons. Also it will probably lead to some serious health issues as the athletes will push their bodies more and more to try and win against others doing the same.
Sport
- Swimming
-- 50m freestyle
-- 100m freestyle
-- 50m butterfly
-- 100m butterfly - Track (Athletics)
-- 60m dash
-- 100m sprint
-- 100m hurdles (women)

This is the current list as it stands but if the concept gets popular I'm sure that we will see a lot more added in the future.
What are your thoughts on the idea........
Yay or Nay?
