The "Enhanced Games" -- a desecration of sport

In my latest editorial for CGTN, I rip apart the legitimacy of the Enhanced Games, which are scheduled to take place in May 2026.

Here’s an excerpt:

The organizers, and one of U.S. President Donald Trump's sons is providing the financial backing, are making an illogical argument that the "Enhanced Games" are reputable because real-time scientific study of how steroids and similar drugs affect athletes will take place. Using this "logic," then human beings ought to be placed in houses engulfed in flames in order to evaluate how their physiology is affected by fire and fear.

Let's not mince words here: No reasonable person should accept the nonsense being peddled about legitimate scientific inquiry; the "Enhanced Games" are a legal, but grossly unethical, attempt to make money. One hopes that if this despicable event does take place in 2026 that it is never repeated.
