Enhanced World Records
We get that some people believe that natural world records are the only achievements that should be recognised. While we understand this point of view, we believe that all human achievement needs to be celebrated.
Below, we have listed elite athletes who have set world records that have been revoked or challenged by the legacy sports apparatus and the media. We celebrate these individuals as pioneers of human performance and recognise their achievements as a benchmark of human athletic achievement, be it natural or enhanced.
