The Enhancement Games, the Olympic-style sporting event where athletes can use performance-enhancing drugs

25 May - 8 mins
Podcast Series The Anton Savage Show

A controversial new Olympics-style sporting event where athletes will be permitted – and even encouraged – to use performance-enhancing drugs is set to debut in Las Vegas next year. The self-styled ‘Enhanced Games’ will allow athletes to use performance-enhancing substances without being subject to drug tests, though cocaine and heroin are among the substances not permitted. So, what does this mean for the integrity of sport, and what are the physiological considerations with the use of PEDs? Joining Anton to discuss was David Nolan, Assistant Professor of Sport and Exercise Science at the DCU School of Health and Human Performance.
