The Enhanced Games Has A Date, A Host City and a Drug-Fuelled World Record
Briefly

The Enhanced Games have scheduled their inaugural competition for May 21-24, 2026, at Resorts World Las Vegas, allowing athletes to legally use performance-enhancing drugs like testosterone and anabolic steroids, provided they're prescribed and maintained at safe levels. Three core sports will feature: swimming, track, and weightlifting, with categories defined by chromosomes rather than gender. Prize money includes $500,000 per event, with a bonus for breaking world records. The event aims to reintroduce a controversial type of athletic competition, as demonstrated by athletes like Kristian Gkolomeev, who recently set new swimming records under the enhanced regulations.
