- The inaugural Enhanced Games, a controversial multi-sport competition allowing performance-enhancing drugs, is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas, with the first event getting underway on Sunday 24 May.
- Founded by Dr Aron D’Souza, the event permits most performance-enhancing drugs, provided they are legal in the US and prescribed by a doctor, with athletes required to disclose their usage.
- The Games will feature three main sports – swimming, athletics, and weightlifting – and offer significant financial incentives, including $250,000 for event winners and a $1million bonus for breaking official world records in the 100m sprint or 50m freestyle.
- High-profile athletes such as American sprinter Fred Kerley and British Olympic silver medallist Ben Proud are among approximately 40 competitors who have publicly confirmed their participation.
- The event has faced caused controversy and faced strong condemnation from major sports bodies, including the International Olympic Committee and the World Anti-Doping Agency, which have labelled it "dangerous and irresponsible”, warning that participating athletes risk bans from mainstream competitions.
