Welcoming An Enhanced Version of Olympics
Steroids, including stimulants, anabolic agents, and performance-enhancers have no place in the traditional Olympics or, for that matter, any conventional sport. In fact, they are seen as cheating and can have an athlete disqualified for the same. But a tech billionaire, Peter Thiel, thinks otherwise.
Peter Thiel and some other top venture capitalists are actively funding an olympic style athletic event, only with open and permissible usage of metabolic modulators and performance enhancers, under medical guidance and check-ups. Known as ‘Enhanced Games’, the founders are calling it a revamping of the Olympics for the 21st century.
Enhanced Games is set to follow the same module as the Olympics, with games like swimming, gymnastics, weight lifting, combat, and track & field, to name a few. The event is set to be inaugurated in 2025, accelerating change and infusing science into one of the oldest athletic event formats.
Medical and Health Measures in Enhanced Games
Medical veterans find Enhanced Games a major health hazard for athletes, resulting in mood swings, loss in bone density, and infection due to recurring modulator intake.
However, experts say, there will be strict medical and health scrutiny before, after, and during the events, to ensure safe implementation, and avoid overdosing. By prioritizing transparency, safety, and fairness, Enhanced Games can strive to achieve its vision of revolutionizing athletics while upholding the highest standards of integrity and sportsmanship.
Enhanced Games - A Celebration of Science
40% of global athletes already use performance enhancers under the guidance of their coaches and mentors. The supporters of Enhanced Games call this initiative a celebration of science to test the ultimate human potential.
Ethical Implications of Enhanced Games
While this format of sports may open up new possibilities, authorities are also raising significant ethical questions. Critics argue that Enhanced Games will blur the line between fair competitions and enhanced advantage. While this event is designed and introduced to test human limits aided by science, ethical implications of pressure on athletes, to perpetually use modulators remain in question!
Bottom Line
In the ever-evolving landscape of sports and technology, Enhanced Games represent a bold experiment at the intersection of human performance and scientific innovation. As with any other module of athletics, it has its risks and repercussions. However, Enhanced Games have the opportunity to shape the future of sports in a manner that is both innovative and revolutionary.
