Enhanced Games: Controversial Olympics-like event where doping is allowed

An Olympics-like event where athletes will be allowed to take performance-enhancing drugs - that's what a businessman named Aaron D'Souza is proposing.

Enhanced Games: Controversial Olympics-like event where doping is allowed

The use of performance-enhancing drugs by elite athletes has long been a subject of controversy and condemnation. From Barry Bonds in baseball to Lance Armstrong in cycling and Marion Jones in track and field, many notable athletes have faced scrutiny for their involvement.

While the Olympic Games serve as a platform for the world's greatest athletes to showcase their extraordinary abilities, a man named Aaron D'Souza is taking a bold step by proposing an event called the Enhanced Games.

D'Souza, an Australia-born businessman based in London, aims to create a competition that allows athletes to participate without drug testing while promoting the use of performance enhancements, as he believes this idea to be morally justifiable.

The Enhanced Games, slated for 2024, is designed to resemble the Olympics but will not adhere to the rules and regulations set by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in sports such as track and field, swimming, weightlifting, gymnastics, and combat sports.

The website features a video showcasing an athlete who supposedly surpassed Usain Bolt's 100-metre world record. D'Souza claims that this athlete has unlocked their body's true athletic potential, but faces opposition from the world and the Olympics. The video emphasizes that the athlete has been vilified but will ultimately be vindicated.

Matt Carroll, the CEO of Australia's Olympic committee, expressed strong disapproval of the Enhanced Games during a press conference. He labeled the concept of drug-enhanced games as dangerous and irresponsible, emphasizing the need for clean and safe sports for all athletes.
