Enhanced Games: the controversial steroid Olympics begins
from Sunrise · host LiSTNR
The Enhanced Games debuts in Las Vegas, featuring world-class athletes including Australian swimmer James Magnussen competing with openly permitted performance-enhancing drugs across swimming, track and weightlifting for a share of $35 million in prize money. The World Anti-Doping Agency has condemned the event as irresponsible, while organisers claim they're regulating what already exists in sport. Olympic champion Sally Pearson and Dr Zat Turner discuss the ethical concerns, medical risks including cardiovascular damage and heart attacks, and questions about the integrity of potential world records.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
