The self-styled ‘Enhanced Games’ will allow athletes to use performance-enhancing substances without being subject to drug tests, though cocaine and heroin are among the substances not permitted.

Joining Anton to discuss was David Nolan, Assistant Professor of Sport and Exercise Science at the DCU School of Health and Human Performance.
