E:60 (2007- )

For decades, conventional wisdom has been that performance enhancing drugs are unsafe, unfair, and threaten the spirit of sports. The Enhanced Games, and its billionaire backers, want to change that.

Dubbed by critics as the Doping Olympics, the first ever Enhanced Games took place this past May in Las Vegas. It was an event where athletes taking PEDs competed for world records and millions in prize money. It was also an advertisement for a direct-to-consumer drug business. The company, Enhanced LTD, is using the spectacle of the games to promote an online marketplace, where consumers can purchase many of the same FDA-approved substances that the swimmers, sprinters and weightlifters used in their training. Their goal is to normalize many of the drugs that sports have taught are dangerous, sparking a PED revolution and reaping the financial benefits.

E60 followed several of the athletes from when they trained in Abu Dhabi while using PEDs through the Enhanced Games competition in Las Vegas. The athletes included:

Sprinter Shania Collins, a former USA Indoor Champion who paused her pursuit of a career as a DEA Agent to give athletics one more try.

Swimmer Cody Miller, a gold medalist at the 2016 Olympics.

Sprinter Marvin Bracy-Williams, an Olympian who was later suspended for PED use.

Ukrainian swimmer Andrii Govorov, the current world record holder in the 50-meter butterfly.

Canadian weightlifter Boady Santavy, a two-time Olympian.
