SportsSports
Key Points
  • The Enhanced Games will allow free doping in sports like swimming and track and field to achieve superhuman results.
  • Doping expert Åke Andrén-Sandberg criticized the games, calling them a disaster for humanity.
  • Former swimming stars Therese Alshammar and Lars Frölander have voiced opposition to the event.

According to sources, the Enhanced Games will feature sports such as swimming, track and field, and weightlifting, with events including the 50m freestyle, 100m, and snatch. Swimmers, track and field athletes, and weightlifters will all be allowed to dope freely to achieve results that would not be possible through normal means. The games have received criticism from several quarters.

In September, shortly after sprinter Fred Kerley became clear, doping expert Åke Andrén-Sandberg completely slammed the idea. " Åke Andrén-Sandberg received support from former swimming stars Therese Alshammar and Lars Frölander. " The number of athletes expected to participate has not been disclosed, and the official stance of international sports bodies like the IOC on the Enhanced Games remains unclear.

If it is such that all athletes must dope to be able to participate, it would be a disaster for humanity as such.
