Pretty sure like 7 of the 8 finalists in the 100m that Johnson won got busted at some stage in their careers. I don't see how the enhanced games will be any different to the regular olympics
Related to what I said earlier, if there’s no discernible difference in performance it will be interesting. They’ll have to claim PEDs are overrated, or the athletes were over the hill and the PEDs got them back to where they were. Either way I’m watching the shit out of this!
Good idea.
Dimma can be the marketed face,smoking bongs of 'medicinal' marijuana.
Would pay good money to watch the Roid Rage Podcast event.
USA would propably cheat and pull out guns.

I'd argue a certain league already does this.Athletes unite to create the Enhanced Games, a competitor to the Olympic Games: The first global sports event without drug testing.

Plenty of people have talked about it, now we actually get to see it.
It might just be the last bastion of a truly level playing field. What are the chances that in time this becomes a major international sporting event?
But talking about the article I'd be very concerned on a number of issues
- Health and Safety - What regulations are in place and how far are they willing to take it.
- Will all drugs be open to all athletes and therefore an even playing field or will technically better athletes suffer having the wrong medical team.
- What effect will this have on the clean competition? Most likely negative.
- Who will be responsible for increased incidence in medical conditions and deaths as a result of drug use?
- How do we teach our children the values of hard work.
- What happens when they start producing super-human body parts. Is that ok?

Like a top of the range Stephen Hawking?
Presumably they are talking about legal (as in a nation's own laws) PED's.
I wonder who will/would be held responsible for excessive quantity of doping leading to health issues, will it wholly be on each competitor to take 100% responsibility for what they put in their body, or will the organising committee have some duty of care to monitor the athlete's PED consumption.

Agreed, the genuine top athletes can turn Olympic success into a lifetime of brand recognition and marketing, doubtful they would risk that for something that may or may not succeed. Odds on no records get broken and the games disappear. If they can get just one elite athlete who juices up and smashes the world mark, then maybe it will go on a little longer.

So is Magnussen going to train overseas? Aren't most PEDs banned here?
