The Enhanced Games is meant to be the first event of its kind to support performance-enhancing drugs and not follow the rules of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).[6] Performance enhancing drugs will not be mandatory for participants.[7][8] Such an event has been discussed hypothetically for many years, but never been realised.[9][10][11] Prosthetic limbs and shoe technology will be allowed.[5]
The event, announced in June 2023, is intended to be annual and to include track and field, swimming, weightlifting, gymnastics, and combat sports. Originally planned for December 2024,[12][13][14] a specific date and location are not set as of February 2024,[15] and the number of athletes "maybe a couple of thousand" according to a representative.[1] Brett Fraser, chief athletics officer of the organisation, says that the planned included sports are a "core suite of products", and can be improved upon in the future.[8] The scale will depend on funding and the location is planned to be a university campus or similar facility in the southern United States.[16] Aron D'Souza, president of the organisation, said in early 2024 that he now had the equity capital to fund the first event.[5]
By August 2023, representatives were saying that what would take place in 2024 would be a smaller "exhibition", with a "full event" taking place in 2025.[11][14] In February 2024, D'Souza said that recent events "accelerates all of our timelines."[17] CNN said in October 2023 that it was an open question whether the games would ever take place.[16]
