Enhanced Games (no drug testing) signs its first female athlete, world-champion swimmer Megan Romano
CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA, AUG 01 – Megan Romano joins the Enhanced Games, which offers $500,000 per event and allows performance enhancers to attract elite athletes without drug testing.
- On Thursday, Enhanced Games signed world-champion swimmer Megan Romano as its first female and American athlete, ahead of its May debut in Las Vegas.
- Enhanced Games plans competitions next May in Las Vegas, offering $500,000 per event with $1 million bonuses for world records, and will allow performance enhancers.
- Having raised money in the double-digit millions, Aron D'Souza said four male swimmers, including Olympic medalist James Magnussen of Australia, have committed.
- The International Olympic Committee condemned the concept of the Enhanced Games, saying, `If you want to destroy any concept of fair play and fair competition in sport, this would be a good way to do it.' World Aquatics plans to ban associated swimmers, and WADA seeks cancellation.
- Despite record-breaking attempts, performance at Enhanced Games would not be official because doping tests are required, as Greece's Kristian Gkolomeev broke the men's 50-meter freestyle record using performance enhancers and a banned suit.
