Australian man plans Enhanced Games for doping athletes

Aaron D’Souza is sure if he builds it they will come. Not ghostly baseball players but athletes of another sort. Those who compete with an edge.

This seems to be propaganda paid for by the IOC or the intelligence services of certain countries to convince stupid people that there is no doping at the Olympics by such psyop

Question: will there be dope testing to verify that everyone is juiced?

Could you imagine the disgrace of an undoped athlete winning?

I think doping will be widely accepted by public opinion within a decade or two, as philosophies within society shift, for a variety of reasons. May even be considered unfair to not allow doping for people who aren’t born with great genes. Just takes a big enough media push.

Seems that here in America it already is ....

In what sense, that it’s de facto allowed in the Big 4 sports? I think most people still claim to be opposed to it though.

Yeah, pretty much a free for all in the big 4.

Yes and no. Bonds is the all time HR leader. A-roid is making boat loads doing commentary (last i knew at least). Lebron is 'the best player ever". etc.

Maybe some billionaire will put up prize money that rivals the highest compensated athletes as a social experiment to see where people's morals really stand.

Very sad if this happens. Doping will widen the gap between the haves and have nots. Superior doping is expensive. Very expensive. Genetic doping might mean the end of sport. I also think current ideals in the western world (everyone deserves the same chance) are a passing fad, like the swinging 60s. Opinions will turn.

$300 million needed for next years Enhanced Games -

The Peter Thiel-backed company that plans to stage an Olympics-style event in which athletes are encouraged to use performance-enhancing substances is in talks to raise around $300 million, according to a report.

Christian Angermayer, a co-founder of the Enhanced Games, told Bloomberg News that initial discussions have been held with several potential investors, including sovereign wealth funds, for a mixture of debt and equity financing.

“My body, my choice, your body, your choice,” D’Souza told The Post earlier this year when asked about the philosophy behind allowing athletes to juice. “Individuals should be able to make choices about your body and no one — whether it’s a sports federation or the government — should be able to tell them what to do about it,” he said.

The boys and gals at Big Pharma must be wetting themselves thinking of the profits to be made from this dubious adventure.

I find it really off putting that the phrase "my body my choice" has been co-opted by these twits

What a brilliant idea. The games should be held in Aynrandia, the most vibrant part of Liberland: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberland

Aaron D’Souza’s plan for the Enhanced Games, featuring athletes who use performance enhancers, is stirring controversy. It’s an ambitious project aiming to offer a platform for athletes who push beyond traditional doping bans. Curious to see how this unfolds! I decided to use https://academized.com/write-my-personal-statement to help with my personal statement, and it was a great decision. The writer did an amazing job of capturing my voice and presenting my experiences in a way that was both compelling and professional. The final statement was well-organized and free of any errors. They were quick, and the quality exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to create a strong personal statement.
