ATHLETICS Enhanced Games founder drops bombshell on world record holders ready to take banned drugs
Enhanced Games CEO Aaron D'Souza has disclosed that several national record holders and world record holders have expressed interest in taking banned performance-enhancing drugs but are afraid of destroying their reputation.
Speaking during the pre-race press conference ahead of the World Indoor Championships in Glasgow, Coe said: “It’s bollocks, isn’t it…I can’t really get excited about it.
“If anyone is moronic enough to feel that they want to take part in that and they are from the traditional, philosophical end of our sport, they’ll get banned and they’ll get banned a long time.”
Meanwhile, the Enhanced Games CEO Aron D'Souza earlier this year, admitted that he already has a list of world record holders who are willing to take performance-enhancing drugs to break the limits.
Early this month, D’Souza noted that retired world champion swimmer James Magnussen agreed to take banned performance-enhancing drugs to attempt to beat Cesar Cielo's 15-year-old 50-meter sprint world record for Ksh 155,500,000.
With such a big move, D’Souza believes he is about to join the ranks of the great entrepreneurial disruptors through his Enhanced Games.
"We want athletes who have the potential to break world records and we're going to really focus on those best athletes and pay them well.
