Roids were all the rage at the Enhanced Games
The Enhanced Games, dubbed the 'Steroid Olympics,' took place in Las Vegas, allowing athletes to use performance-enhancing drugs openly. Cody Miller, a two-time Olympic medalist, won the men's 50m breaststroke and earned $250,000, attributing his success to both his training and the use of enhancements. The event, backed by notable figures, aims to redefine competitive sports by embracing doping rather than banning it.
