What happens in Vega$: steroids, swimmers, and a billion-dollar hustle

The Enhanced Games in Las Vegas featured 42 athletes competing while openly using performance-enhancing drugs under medical supervision.

Events included weight lifting, swimming, and running, with big cash prizes for wins and record-breaking performances.

The competition is backed by Silicon Valley investors and former startup executives, including Peter Thiel and Balaji Srinivasan.

Anti-doping groups say the event raises serious safety, ethics, and rule-breaking concerns as it pushes human enhancement into sports.
