Enhanced Games Sparks Outrage with 2026 Launch of Doping-Friendly Competition
A controversial new sports event, the Enhanced Games, is set to launch in 2026 with backing from high-profile figures. The competition, which allows doping and performance-enhancing substances, has already drawn sharp criticism from anti-doping authorities. Organisers claim it will offer athletes major financial rewards.
The Enhanced Games will go public through a merger with A Paradise, a blank-check company. This deal values the combined entity at $1.2 billion and could raise up to $200 million for the venture. The inaugural event is scheduled for May 2026 in Las Vegas, featuring swimming, track and field, and weightlifting.
The Enhanced Games will proceed despite widespread opposition from anti-doping bodies. With significant funding and a 2026 launch date, the event aims to attract top athletes with large financial incentives. The long-term impact on sports and athlete health remains uncertain.
