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.
