The Enhanced Games is all set to take place on Sunday, May 24, 2026, in a 2500-seater arena at Resorts World in Las Vegas. This is a new controversial sports competition, where athletes are allowed to take performance-enhancing drugs that are considered illegal in official competitions.
This competition will feature more than a dozen Olympic swimmers, including Britain’s Ben Proud, who recently secured a second place in the 50m freestyle at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The biggest athlete that the track section will witness at the Enhanced Games is Fred Kerley, whose personal best in the 100m dash is 9.76 seconds and was last seen in action during the 2024 Diamond League in Brussels.
