Enhanced Games

Medically-Supervised Human Enhancement

Medically-Supervised Human Enhancement

SCIENCE IS REAL

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.

CREATING
A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD

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 permits the use of performance enhancements, ensuring our competitions are fairer and safer for our athletes.

THE DECLARATION ON HUMAN ENHANCEMENT

Ratified at the University of Oxford at the Second Conference on Human Enhancement, the Declaration on Human Enhancement is the governing ethical framework for the Enhanced Games and our policies on performance enhancements. The Declaration establishes ten key principles to guide the responsible and equitable integration of human enhancement technologies in sports and science.

THE ATHLETE JOURNEY

INDEPENDENT MEDICAL
AND SCIENTIFIC COMMISSION

At Enhanced, we believe that scientific and medical integrity are fundamental to advancing human performance. That’s why we have invited world-leading experts in their respective fields to form external, independent commissions dedicated to medical and scientific oversight, reinforcing our commitment to athlete safety, rigorous scientific standards, and transparency.

The Medical Commission plays a crucial role in safeguarding athlete well-being by establishing medical safety protocols, overseeing athlete medical profiling, and advising on eligibility and safety for competition in the Enhanced Games. Its independent oversight ensures that athlete health and safety remain the top priority, instilling confidence in both competitors and the public.

The Scientific Commission helps to shape Enhanced’s research strategy and ensure scientific rigor. It supports the design and efficient execution of scientific studies while leveraging the members’ collective expertise to further sports science research. Additionally, it facilitates the communication of new insights emerging from the scientific work at Enhanced to both the scientific community and the general public.

History of Performance
Enhancements

Time Immemorial

West Africans use cola acuminita and cola nitida for running competitions.
Australia's Indigenous people consume pituri plants in order to gain its stimulant effect.

776 BC - 393 BC

Roman gladiators use stimulants and hallucinogens.

~800–1000 AD

Norse Vikings ingest the stimulant bufotenin in order to increase their fighting strength twelvefold.

19th Century

Athletes incorporate coca leaves and strychnine into their performance therapies.

1935

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.
