The Enhanced Games (TEG) is a planned multi-sport event. Founded by Australian businessman Aron D’Souza, it plans to allow athletes to use performance-enhancing substances without being subject to drug tests; organizers claim these substances must be FDA-approved and used under medical supervision.[3][4][5] According to D’Souza, he created the Games because he believes that athletes are entitled to do what they wish with their own bodies, and that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is corrupt for exploiting them.
The first event is set to take place from May 21-24, 2026 in Las Vegas and include events in swimming, athletics, and weightlifting.[6][7] Reactions have been generally negative from the sporting world, the scientific community, and media outlets, with commentators highlighting the safety risks of encouraging performance-enhancing drug use.
