Reportedly clean athletes finished first in marquee events at the Enhanced Games — or Steroids Olympics — while just one world record was br
Just one “enhanced” athlete technically broke a world record during Sunday’s events, while reportedly “non-enhanced ” — or clean — athletes took home first place in a number of the marquee events. Investors in the steroid-laced sporting event included Palantir’s Peter Thiel, 1789 Capital’s Donald Trump Jr., biotech entrepreneur Christian Angermayer and the founder of the games, Australian businessman Aron D’Souza. “The Enhanced Games represent the future — real competition, real freedom and real records being smashed,” Trump Jr. said in a statement revealing his involvement. The Enhanced Games were created in 2023 but the inaugural competition took place this Memorial Day weekend. Athletes who participated were offered the option to compete clean or to use substances that were banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) but approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), like testosterone and testosterone esters, human growth hormones, stimulants, metabolic modulators used with anabolic agents, erythropoietin and anabolic steroid agents, according to Enhanced Games. . . . Greek swimmer Kristian Gkolomeev was the only athlete at the Enhanced Games to “break” a world record and receive the $1 million bonus. Gkolomeev, who wore a synthetic “supersuit” that is banned in the Olympics, swam the 50-meter free in 20.81 seconds. It was the night’s final event.
