Overview
- The inaugural Enhanced Games are planned for May 2026 at Resorts World Las Vegas with selected events in swimming, athletics and weightlifting.
- Organizers have announced $500,000 prize money per individual event, $1 million bonuses for specific record times and appearance fees.
- Pharmacologist Fritz Sörgel cautions that competitors will use substances that have not been properly tested as inhibitions fall away.
- He predicts an escalation where athletes already dosed with mixes like EPO, testosterone or growth hormone seek new, riskier drugs out of desperation.
- German swimmer Marius Kusch has accepted an invitation to compete, and Sörgel expects the controversial format to draw strong TV interest.
