Banned Ex-100m Champ Kerley to Compete Clean at Enhanced Games
Kerley said he will not use performance-enhancing drugs and could earn a $1.4 million bonus if he beats Usain Bolt’s mark.
- American sprinter Fred Kerley confirmed he will compete 'clean' at this weekend's inaugural Enhanced Games in Las Vegas, abstaining from performance-enhancing substances permitted at the event.
- Kerley's decision to join the event is primarily financial, following his two-year ban by the Athletics Integrity Unit for three whereabouts failures within a 12-month period.
- If Kerley beats Usain Bolt's 9.58-second record, he could earn a $1.4 million bonus plus a $350,000 winner's cheque; he also challenged Australian prodigy Gout Gout to 'handle the pressure.'
- World Athletics president Sebastian Coe labeled the event 'bollocks,' whereas Enhanced Games co-founder Christian Angermayer supported Kerley, calling the choice 'the crystallization of our ethos.'
- Maintaining his intent to compete at the 2028 Summer Olympics, Kerley insists he remains subject to daily testing by WADA and the Athletics Integrity Unit.
