The Enhanced Games is meant to be the first event of its kind to support performance-enhancing drugs and not follow the rules of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).[2] Performance-enhancing drugs will not be mandatory for participants.[3][4][5] Such an event has been discussed hypothetically for many years but never been realised.[6][7][8] Prosthetic limbs and shoe technology will be allowed.[9] Aron D'Souza, president of the organisation, says that for insurance reasons, only FDA-approved substances will be allowed.[10] Cocaine and heroin will not be allowed.[11] According to D'Souza, athletes should also be categorised based on their chromosomal sex.[12]

The event, as announced in June 2023, is intended to be annual and to include track and field, swimming, weightlifting, gymnastics, and combat sports. Originally planned for December 2024,[13][14][15] D'Souza estimated the number of athletes to be "maybe a couple of thousand".[16] Brett Fraser, chief athletics officer of the organisation, said that the planned included sports are a "core suite of products", and can be improved upon in the future.[4] The scale will depend on funding, and the location was planned to be a university campus or similar facility in the southern United States.[17] D'Souza said in early 2024 that he now had the equity capital to fund the first event.

I am particularly interested in the weightlifting.
