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.

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.
