Ryan Confirms He's Joined Controversial Enhanced Games
The Enhanced Games in Las Vegas will offer up to $500,000 per event and $1 million bonuses for breaking world records, drawing top athletes willing to use performance enhancers.
- Fred Kerley, the US sprinter, said ownership and family drove his decision to sign up for the Enhanced Games in Las Vegas next year, citing `money, family, and taking ownership of his future`.
- Kerley said ownership and pay motivated him to sign with the Enhanced Games, which offers $250,000 for winners and a $1,000,000 bonus from founder Aron D'Souza.
- Organisers say athletes may use banned substances under medical oversight and profiling, with the inaugural Enhanced Games held at a Las Vegas complex featuring a four-lane 50-metre pool, six-lane sprint track, and weightlifting stage.
- World Aquatics has moved to ban participants from its events, prompting immediate fallout as Sport Ireland and Swim Ireland condemned involvement and Kerley faces a provisional AIU suspension he disputes.
- Major backers including Omeed Malik, Peter Thiel and Donald Trump Jnr have funded the venture, while the International Olympic Committee and anti-doping agencies condemned it this year.
