Enhanced Games

Science Is Real

At the Enhanced Games, we encourage the use of performance enhancements, under the appropriate medical safeguards.

This is our opportunity to evolve humanity, by demonstrating what the human body is truly capable of.

Dr Aron Ping D'Souza

President of the Enhanced Games

Creating a Level Playing Field

44% of world-class athletes admit to using banned substances today, yet only 1% get caught. The Olympic Games have become cat-and-mouse games, in which some athletes reach for higher-risk substances because they are harder to detect. This endangers their health and diminishes the integrity of the sport.

At Enhanced, we seek to provide transparency in elite competitions by embracing these realities and providing a safer way forward. The Enhanced Games will permit the use of performance enhancements that result in competitions that are fairer, safer, and more thrilling to watch.

Performance Enhancement Policy

Our decisions on which performance enhancements to permit will be guided by three key questions: do they improve performance, do they improve health, and are they in keeping with the spirit of the sport?

Medically-Supervised Human Enhancement

Planned Approved Substances

With Regular Clinical Supervision

Performance Enhancing

Refers to substances that:

  • Enhance speed, strength, endurance & competition preparation.
  • Provide ancillary support regulating the effects of a primary substance, during/after a substance-cycle.
  • Accelerate recovery from injury or illness.
  • Optimize health after extreme effort, i.e. competition, training camps or exhibitions.

Prohibited Substances

Unhealthy

Refers to substances that:

  • Lack demonstrable health benefits.
  • Are classified as USA Schedule I or UK Class A drugs.
 

Against the Spirit of Sport

Refers to substances that:

  • Incur significant harm to self or others.
  • Involve irreversible body modification.
  • Are highly addictive.

In 1999, the World Anti-Doping Agency drew a line in the sand, allowing some enhancements, but not others.
We are drawing a new line, using health data to help determine what should and what should not be allowed.

Our commitment is to create a transparent and scientifically guided environment where athletes can achieve their best performances under safe conditions.

The Enhanced Games do not promote the indiscriminate use of restricted substances. Instead, we advocate for the safe, responsible and clinically supervised use of performance enhancements.

History of Performance Enhancements

Time Immemorial
West Africans use cola acuminita and cola nitida for running competitions.

The Tarahumara tribe consume peyote (strychnine) in order to prepare for multi-day runs.


Australia's Indigenous people consume pituri plant in order to gain its stimulant effect.

1889


Physician Charles-Édouard Brown-Séquard, becomes the first to isolate testicular fluid. He injects it into himself, and finds renewed strength and vitality.

Anabolic steroids are first synthesized, a revolutionary moment for performance therapies.


These steroids are later used to restore the health of the survivors of Nazi concentration camps.
1956–1988

Between 1956 and 1988, GDR athletes won 203 gold, 192 silver and 177 bronze Olympic Medals.


1967


The International Olympic Committee bans performance enhancements, stifling scientific innovation.


1967–2023


Brave athletes continue to incorporate the latest scientific advancements – and set new world records – despite the risk of prosecution.




2023


The Enhanced Games launches, ushering in a return to the inclusion of science in sports.
