UKAD statement on The Enhanced Games
Please see a further update to UKAD’s original response to the Enhanced Games, a concept endorsing a sports event without drugs testing and with athletes' use of performance enhancing drugs.
Jane Rumble, UKAD’s Chief Executive, said:
“It is incredibly disappointing that any British athlete would consider competing in an event that flies in the face of the true spirit of sport. Any decision by any athlete to compete in the Enhanced Games risks undermining the values of a sporting landscape that prizes hard work, integrity, pure talent and 100% clean sport.
“It’s a landscape UK Anti-Doping works hard to protect, so it is with deep concern for all clean athletes, and all those who love sport, that the event may go ahead, with any British athlete saying they will take part. It is an undertaking that diminishes, rather than ‘enhances’, all those involved.”
