The Enhanced Games, scheduled for May 2026 in Las Vegas, will be the first major sporting event to permit the use of performance-enhancing drugs without traditional penalties. Promoters advocate for a normalized approach to drug use in sports, termed "superhumanity," positioning the event as an evolution of athletic competition aligned with advancements in medical science. Critics, however, raise concerns about safety and fairness, warning that such an event could undermine the integrity of sports. The initiative aims to provide extensive medical monitoring, encouraging athletes to engage in enhancement under supervision rather than facing bans.
We are creating a new category of human excellence, the Enhanced Games' promotional materials declare. A world where performance-enhancing drugs are used safely, openly, and under medical supervision.
The Enhanced Games is renovating the Olympic model for the 21st century, he said. In the era of accelerating technological and scientific change, the world needs a sporting event that embraces the future – particularly advances in medical science.
