Overview
- The former Team GB 100m sprinter, 29, has come out of retirement to compete at the inaugural event scheduled for May 24 at Resorts World in Las Vegas.
- The competition allows performance-enhancing substances outside World Anti-Doping Agency rules, with organizers saying any enhancement would occur under clinical supervision using legal substances in the United States.
- UK Athletics says it will not recognize the event, arguing it undermines competitive integrity and risks athlete welfare under its Clean Athletics Policy.
- Prescod becomes the second British athlete to sign on after Olympic swimmer Ben Proud, with other reported commitments including Fred Kerley, Shane Ryan, Mouhamadou Fall and Shania Collins.
- Organizers have promoted significant financial incentives, including appearance fees, prizes up to $250,000 per event and a $1 million bonus for a 100m world record.
