Shifting from a sporting competition to a pharmacological one is essentially what the "Enhanced Games" are proposing. This event, taking place on May 24th in Las Vegas, claims to be a sporting event but rejects all the principles of sport, foremost among them the values of pushing one's limits and fair competition. At the Enhanced Games, anything goes: doping is authorized and even encouraged. The announcement of the event, a provocation and an affront to the sporting community, has ignited passions and outraged the public.
