Medically-Supervised
Human Enhancement
The Enhanced Games do not endorse the indiscriminate use of restricted substances. We advocate for the safe, responsible, and clinically supervised use of performance enhancements.
Nearly 44% of world-class athletes admit to using banned substances today, yet only 1% get caught. International competitions have turned into unfair cat-and-mouse games, where some athletes resort to high-risk, unresearched, and hard to detect substances and practices often without medical supervision and support. This not only jeopardises athletes’ health but also undermines the integrity of the sport.
At Enhanced, we provide transparency in elite competitions by embracing these realities and providing a safer way forward. The Enhanced Games will permit the use of performance enhancements that result in competitions that are fairer and safer for the athletes.
Performance
Enhancement Policy
At the Enhanced Games, we embrace the safe use of performance enhancements, under our rigorous medical safeguards.
This is our opportunity to evolve humanity, by demonstrating what the human body is truly capable of. The medical guidelines developed by the independent medical commission and scientific commission will be published in early 2025.
Refers to non-prohibited pharmaceutical substances and practices approved for their favourable benefit-to-safety ratio, particularly concerning their use in sports performance and health. Broadly, this includes substances and practices that:
Enhance speed, skill, strength, endurance, and competition preparation.
Provide ancillary support to regulate the effects of a primary substance during or after a cycle.
Accelerate recovery from injury or illness.
Optimise health following intense exertion, such as competitions, training camps, or exhibition events.
A variety of factors will be considered to determine whether an enhancement will be prohibited for use in and out of competition periods by participating athletes. Substances and practices will be prohibited by Enhanced when they meet one or more of the following criteria:
Absence of demonstrable health benefits.
Classified as a USA Schedule I or UK Class A drug, i.e. no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse and addiction.
Unfavourable benefit-to-safety ratio, particularly with regard to performance and health in sports.
Potential to cause significant harm to self or others.
Proven to cause or have a high potential for irreversible body modification.
Against the spirit of sport.

Anabolic steroids are first synthesised, a revolutionary moment for performance therapies. These steroids are later used to restore the health of the survivors of Nazi concentration camps.
1956–1988
The government of East Germany initiates state-sponsored performance therapies for its athletes. Between 1956 and 1988, East German athletes won 203 gold, 192 silver, and 177 bronze Olympic Medals.
1967
An international ban on performance enhancements is introduced, stifling scientific innovation.
1967–2023
Athletes continue to incorporate the latest scientific advancements – and set new world records – despite the risk of prosecution.
2023
The Enhanced Games have launched, marking a new era of scientific inclusion in sports.
