Next spring, the first free doping competition ENhanced Games is scheduled for Las Vegas.
Chairman of the World Anti -Doping Agency Wada Witold in Banka The crash event is causing concern.
– We all have to come up and condemn those who put greed and ego athletes before the well -being and honesty of competition, Banka said Wednesday at Lausanne event.
– As the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics approach, we cannot allow the celebration of honest sports to be overshadowed by a cynical attempt to shake clean sports.
Enhanced Games claim to arrange a safe environment for athletes to use performance -enhancing substances under medical control.
However, according to Banka, the activity does not withstand a more detailed review.
– This should be studied from a legislative point of view. First of all, I would question whether licensed doctors can legally give these strong substances to healthy athletes.
Banka says Wada advises US authorities to prevent the organization of Enhanced Games and want to support the US anti -doping organization USA.
AFP news agency received USA CEO From Travis Tygart a short comment on the subject by message.
– As I have repeatedly said, for self -evident reasons, Enhanced Games and all other free races are bad ideas.
