Olympic Games, but doping is allowed?!

[acroman08]

So I came across a video on youtube about someone planning on creating a new type of Olympic games called "the Enhanced Games" to rival the Olympic games. In this version of "Olympic games", performance-enhancement drugs that are usually prohibited to be used by the athletes competing in the Olympic Games will be allowed to be used.

the president of "the Enhanced Games" believes that this competition could unlock the athlete's true potential and will obliterate all the world record that has been set in the Olympic games. from what I have read in an article, they are planning on launching this event next year in December.

now, the reason why I post this here is because since a lot of sports bettors here love sports I am curious about what you guys think about it and whether this would be a new sporting event that will be enjoyed by sports betting enthusiasts.

personally, as a person who likes sports, I am curious about what this new sporting event that allows the usage of performance-enhancement drugs could lead to.

I believe the organizer of this new olympic games is the real doped. I doubt world record will acknowledge a milestone achievement made by someone under the influence of synthetic strength booster. This kind of games is not healthy and promotes sports that will have a side effect on human body. I’m afraid that in worst case scenario, There might be some casualty here since people will do anything just to win even if they will take more drugs just get more strength without considering the risk to the body.

Very intriguing announcement but will they be acknowledge?

A bit radical and will really leave an impression on the next generation. And it's just not track and field or other sports but Combat sport is among the game. This is an enhanced drug promotion Olympics and most probably the ones who use Meth are gonna be the ones winning. It's not about agility and skills but about what drugs can do for you.

Aron Desouza is a funny guy. He has a good point that its anti-science to not allow performance-enhance drugs. I don't see anything wrong with using it but not in sports competitions.
If you are a Witcher, I guess you can take as many enhanced drugs and go slay monsters.

[Merit.s]

I guess that the Olympics will be for only drug users because it is only the ones that use drugs as a booster that will enjoy the game. The winner will win based on the influence of drugs and not based on strength,this is bring harm on sport because the young generation will think that it is the right thing to do. I will also say that it is only another means of promoting hard drugs which has negative impact to the society. I will love to watch such games and to also see who will end up being the winner in various games,if he was motivated by any drugs. It will be lovely if Colombia will be the host.

It is crucial to support clean and fair competition in sports, encouraging athletes to achieve their best without resorting to performance-enhancing substances. By doing so, we can ensure that the Olympic Games and other sporting events continue to inspire and bring people together in a positive and healthy way!!!sports ethics should be the fundamental benchmark for all participants in sports. When there is respect for rules and ethical values, a fair and healthy balance in competition is achieved, and the spirit of fairness and mutual respect among athletes is enhanced. Therefore, we all should strive to preserve the integrity of sports and promote sports ethics in all aspects of sporting life.

It keeps getting wild everyday. Just some weeks ago we read about the Sex Olympics now this? Incredible. Soon we would have the Olympics that is AI assisted, or cyborg. The organizers should be stopped. There is nothing good about using enhancement drugs aside from the fact that it gives an athlete an unfair advantage, there is also the health aspect. Power lifters and body builders who use them have been know to suffer from several health conditions. Besides how do we judge that these athletes actually did give their best. On the other side, we may just be ready to have a proliferation of enhancement drugs in the market. They should be stopped.

the president of "the Enhanced Games" believes that this competition could unlock the athlete's true potential and will obliterate all the world record that has been set in the Olympic games.

To me I don't think anyone would really waste their time to compare an event that uses drugs to enhance it's participate to that of Olympics that's based on natural strengths and talent, it would be futile if you ask me.
By the way, does Guinness world record accept record performance that was done by the use of drugs? From what I know about GWR all the records I have heard or seen has been based on the performer natural ability and that's what's will make Olympic games top this new one.

The only thing I expect from this new drug enhanced games is fun, due to the fact that participants will no longer be working based on their sheer natural strengths then we should expect more activities from them.

I don't think that this will get merit from the sporting communities obviously. Doping has been ban from the Olympics and even in all other sports as well. And so the organisers of this are doing the opposite and permitting it?

When seen a lot of sports though, supposedly to topple another one and yet no one has succeeded. So I think this will be the same, there is hype in the beginning, and then it will jus die naturally as no one will support this cheaters.

It sounds odd that the Olympics are allowed to use doping because the athlete gets an unfair advantage if the opponent is better doped.
because using doping is the same as doing sports or matches not based on ability or talent, it's just that they have extraordinary physical abilities. The hard work and determination of many sportsmen and coaches goes to waste and sport starts to lose its beauty and values, besides that doping can make people addicted and can cause some serious health problems.

^ Yeah, that is definitely very sad to consider that the Olympics would permit the use of doping, as it gives an unfair advantage to athletes who choose to enhance their performance through artificial means. The essence of sports lies in the display of ability, talent, and the relentless pursuit of excellence, rather than relying solely on extraordinary physical capabilities obtained through doping. The dedication and efforts of countless athletes and coaches could be undermined, causing the sport to lose its inherent beauty and values. But on my own I think doping poses serious health risks and can lead to addiction, further compromising the well-being of individuals involved. It is risky to prioritize fair competition and uphold the integrity of sports to maintain their true essence and promote a healthy environment for athletes.

I don't think the idea of wanting to beat all previous records of winning through performance enhancement drugs is a good one because i don't aso think anyone will accept this results except there is a category  for this kind  of winnings.
And I see this as not right for the Olympics to consider this kind of games and it's  results because I believe that just as our faces and body stature are different,  same thing also applies  to our body system and how it absorbs things because it might take another person 2 hours for a drug to get activated while it might take another person lesser or longer time to activate same drugs  and I believe  when judging this results, it will be based on the dosage given forgetting this setback I mentioned above, hence I'm not in favour that the Olympics support this kind of sport.

[coin-investor]

Whatever explanation they have they are promoting cheating they are not promoting fairness and natural physical prowess but drugs to enhance human performance.
Yes, it will results in setting new World records but those records will not be acknowledged and it will put participants at great risk because athletes for them to win will use unauthorized and illegal substances to achieve results we never know but athletes will use substances like cocaine to enhance their performance and feel like superman.
I don't think it will get acceptance from many countries especially countries that are against illegal drugs because it's like putting the risk of their athletes that could possibly result in death.

Why should drug be to unluck an athlete potential, doesn't that alone limits his ability to believe in himself that he can achieve more without the use of drug. Cause from all indications the use of drugs can only make anyone not to believe himself to achieve something great without the use of drugs to achieve it.
This is immoral and could create a drug addictive mindset to teenagers that would be using these kind of games, this just another indirect way of promoting drugs and it should be fiercely condemned.

That's just a disgrace to the sport they will partake in. Imagine natural talents who hone their skills for years and years being beaten in records by doped guys? Not gonna happen. I wouldn't try to bet on this event too, as it's just a recipe for disaster to my bets because you'll never know who's the better dope user. No one will take interest on this betting-wise, though we don't know about the curiosity of some people out here, they might want to see this become a reality.

Well, looks interesting enough. I just wonder if this will give rise to some companies trying to develop better-performing drugs or something, I'm not really familiar with what they use to dope though so things may have already been what I imagine it to be, but hey, the sky's the limit.

I highly doubt this would be allowed in the global stage, or released to it imo. It may only be a tournament that allows doped users, but in the chances that they may feat a world record made by people who trained for their entire lives, just because of a few tablets, it kind of leaves a bad taste, both to the one who made the record and those who watched him/her.

The act of allowing dope completely makes the sports something similar to a drug competence. Over time we can see the name of the drugs taken by the players under their names. This means the competence will be between two drugs and not between players. As in the previous post, it is a way to create market for drugs and not to create better sporting.

If this concept comes to reality most of the players who were caught for using drugs will be the participants. Lets see what is the real impact the Olympics games can create in the sporting and the drug industry.

The creator of enhanched games wanna test human's body by allowing doping to be used in the competition. He was thinking human can be used as a way to test his experiment.

The world become even more crazy with so many crazy idea like this. Doped guys is a human created.

I am against this, lets forget for a moment about the fairness of the games and things like the respect you owe to your competitors, if taking all kind of substances is allowed then this means the best athlete on a particular sport will be decided not by the one that trains the hardest but by the one that has access to the best drugs and can resist them, this could lead athletes to do all kind of things in order to win and it would not surprise me if many died on their attempt to reach the top.

This seems interesting, at least from a certain point of view. If this kind of sports league is legally allowed, we might be seeing how extreme, even unimaginable, stuff could be done by the human body with the help of enhancement drugs. Help might be a term worth debating here. Powered is different from helped.

If I'm asked, I won't favor such league. Matches under such rules might end up a battle of pharmaceutical or supplement companies. Athletes might not anymore compete out of their human abilities honed and perfected more or less naturally and with factors such as discipline, wisdom, training strategies, and so on.

There must be an ethical side of this as matches might end up simply battles of new experiments or new drug concoctions, and the bodies of the athletes become mere tools for these. Not to mention all the side effects of all these enhancement drugs.

[Dave1]

Can this be called an Olympic games if there is doping? I think it's going to be misleading though and now that we are into a lot of controversies as far as sporting goes, remember the case of disgrace Lance Armstrong in cycling?

So just like the rest of the members here, I'm totally against it, not going to be fair for those sports athletes that are performing clean.

This might get some traction, but still this is like condoning that everyone can used drugs to win in a sports.
