The Enhanced Games recently launched with an emphasis on attracting attention through sensational claims, including a new world record by swimmer Kristian Gkolomeev. Founded by Aron D'Souza, the event prioritizes technology and performance enhancers over traditional sportsmanship values. Critics, including World Aquatics, dismiss the games as a mere spectacle devoid of integrity. The lack of credible competition standards and drug testing raises questions about the authenticity of achievements like Gkolomeev's purported world record, challenging the legitimacy and ethical implications of such events centered on enhancement drugs.
"Once the world realizes that, I think everyone is going to want it. Every middle-aged guy who once played competitive sport and is now suffering from back pain is going to say, 'What is he on and how do I get it?'"
"The Enhanced Games are not a sporting competition built on universal values like honesty, fairness and equity: they are a circus, built on shortcuts."
