The Olympics on steroids. The enhanced games are happening right now. So, what actually are they? Back in 2023, an Australian entrepreneur kicked off this idea of a pro-doping Olympic style event, and it pulled in some big investors like Donald XXXXX Jr. The games say their purpose is to embrace scientific advancements to push the boundaries of human performance. The main categories are across track and field, swimming, and weightlifting, and there are cash prizes, like $25 million

worth of cash prizes. The big money is in if an athlete can beat the world record set by usual athletes, and events usually feature an athlete who isn't taking performance-enhancing drugs. The drugs have to be legal and taken under medical supervision. The event says it has an independent medical commission, which oversees the medical profiling of the athletes. They can only use substances that have been approved by the FDA, things like testosterone and human growth hormone, which otherwise would be banned under normal

competitions. Bodies like the World Anti-Doping Agency have strongly condemned the games, saying over the years there have been many examples of athletes suffering serious long-term side effects from their use of prohibited substances and methods. Some have died. It is perhaps the most controversial event in sport with the first of the official enhanced games kicking off this year. Aussie swimmer and Olympic medalist James Magnuson took part, but he finished outside of his 100 meter freestyle best despite having

undergone two years of supervised doping. Magnus and still will take home $50,000 for turning up to the event.
