In the US, this has become a reality. On May 24, 2026, the first-ever edition of the Enhanced Games started in Las Vegas. This is a privately funded event in which athletes are permitted to utilize performance-enhancing substances. The main vision behind is “[t]he idea that athletes should compete substance-free is a 20th-century invention, not a timeless moral principle”. I argue that these events should be evidence-based, subject to ongoing monitoring, and adopted through a transparent and participatory process.
