Drugs including steroids are banned in EVERY professional sport, Olympic events, and sporting competition the world over; BUT Enhanced Games is looking to allow its participants to use steroids.
A group call 1789 Capital is led by Donald Trump Jr and pairing up with Enhanced Games founder Aron D’Souza for a festival of track, swimming, and other sporting events that would allow some use of currently banned substances in sports.
D’Souza spoke to the Associated Press saying, “we are in an age of disruptors, and disruptors are in the White House. There are people like Elon Musk, front and center, in the administration, and I think this is a time where new ideas, front and center, can come to be.”
Saying that Enhanced Sports is not “a doping free-for-all” said it is a “celebration of humanity at large, and a celebration of science.”
However, D’Souza is offering a number of bonuses including to the first sprinter to break the 100 meter world record and to the swimmer who breaks the record in the 50 meter freestyle. He claims to have a number of athletes lineup up to compete.
In a statement Trump Jr said, “this is about excellence, innovation, and American dominance on the world stage — something the MAGA movement is all about.”
Refusing comments, the International Olympic Committee simply said the idea, “does not merit any comment.”
D’Souza sees a long time scuffle between the U.S. government and the World Anti-Doping Agency, which includes non-payment of dues, as a way to get a foot in the door.
While Enhanced Sports is looking to normalize steroid use in sporting events; athletes who have undergone sexual reassignment surgery are not welcome. However, D’Souza sees the recent confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy as the Secretary of Health a good thing. Kennedy uses testosterone replacement therapy. D’Souza noted, “that would get him banned from Olympic competition. And he has spoken very openly about the need to bring disruption and reform into the healthcare sector, which is very aligned with the philosophy of the Enhanced Games.”
D’Souza and Trump Jr are hoping to launch Enhanced Games events in 2026.
