The first sports event without drug testing.
90s sketch comedy premise
I prefer performance impairing drugs just to level the playing field
If this actually does result in a bunch of records being broken, I’ll be surprised. I guarantee it’s just gonna be a bunch of random failsons who weren’t good enough to make it onto an Olympic team but think that taking way too many roids will let them beat every record. Or it’s a grift, which is at least as likely.
i guess it depends how good the drugs are and if they do other stuff like blood doping, oxygen tents etc.
Idk. I feel like if you take me and load me up with all the drugs and whatever any of that other stuff is, I’m still going to lose to your average high school track star in a sprint. I feel like if you gave the track star a bunch of PEDs they’ll still lose to a top level Olympic athlete. I guess if you give the drugs to someone who’s already a high level contender, it could give them an edge, but it’s not like this stuff turns you into a Terminator or something.
Something like this would need years of effort going into developing insane new drugs, techniques, and science fiction tier augmentations to build truly mindblowingly better athletes. If we see anything this year it’ll be a record or two getting shaved down by a hundredth of a second, and then everyone just gets bored and it goes nowhere.
Maybe I’m wrong though, I don’t know shit about this sort of thing, and would love to be better educated on the types of measurable performance gains that are possible.
The thing with PEDs is that it completely changes the way you train. You can do lower rep, higher weight exercises and see even better results, but it also become even more important to do proper stretching and rollouts, pressure and aftercare recovery techniques. Endurance exercises can go for much longer as well.
The reason for this is because what PEDs normally do is drastically improve your recovery ability, and what that means in practice is that it is very easy to recover badly, excaterbate bad positional habits and just downright make your muscles look weird.
i don’t think they’re selling “couch to olympic records”, PEDs help you train harder faster and recover more quickly so you can train more. Sitting on ass and gearing up isn’t gonna do much for us but if you give 16 year olds drugs and a decent training regimen they’ll beat the shit out of college athletes without drugs.
Runners hit their peaks later than gymnasts so if this thing gets started and sticks around then we’ll probably see mediocre highschool runners pushing into the low end of olympic qualifier times with a few years of training+drugs. Maybe 10th place guys in college competitions could make record pushes.
but it’s not like this stuff turns you into a Terminator or something.
If any drugs are legal, there are many that would turn you into a Terminator. I think people are thinking too limited here
Meth, in particular. Maybe even LSD depending on the person
Obviously, training on meth should be done in extremely limited amounts but give an athlete a high dose on the day of and they’ll easily be able to push past far beyond normal human limits

Y’all allowing Trans athletes? 🤔

@enhanced_games
Yes, trans athletes are enhanced humans. They will be very welcome.

So they did say trans athletes were welcome but in the process implied that they were drug cheats.
nobody ever talks about trans men in sports, literally taking testosterone.
i vaguely remember texas deciding to have a trans boy still compete in the womens’ sports and he was on hrt and owned everybody.
Enchanced humans ahahahahahahahahahaha they are talking atheltes like they are superhumans
