"The Enhanced Games, featuring athletes using performance-enhancing drugs legally, will debut from May 21-24, 2026, at Resorts World Las Vegas with $500,000 in prizes."
"Athletes will compete in swimming, track, and weightlifting, categorized by chromosomes and allowed to use prescribed performance-enhancing substances safely."
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.
