Olympics Doping Scandal: Team Prepared?

The so-called “doping OS” or Enhanced Games has made it clear with its biggest poster name so far. The 100-meter Fred Kerley Olympics will participate in the first games in May next year.

Kerley is the first American and non-swimmer to be ready for the much-debated games, where doping is allowed.

“The world record has always been my ultimate goal in my career. This gives me the opportunity to direct all my energy and stretch my limits to become the fastest man ever,” Kerley said in a press release.

30-year-old Kerley has a World Cup gold of 100 meters in 2022, and two more World Cup titles. At the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 he took silver at 100 meters and followed it up with a bronze at the Paris Olympics last year.

“We are very happy that an elite athlete like Fred joins Enhanced Games, and chases a record that has not been moved in 16 years,” says the game’s CEO Maximilian Martin.

In August, Kerley was suspended from competitors after missing to report attendance according to athletics anti -doping rules. He has also ended up in stamping with the judiciary.

Both the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the anti -doping organization Wada have previously rejected the idea of a sports championship where the doping is released.

The first edition of the “Doping OS” will be held in a hotel and casino area in Las Vegas, USA, May 21-24 next year.
