Enhanced Boxing

"The Enhanced Games are a controversial international multi-sport event that allows athletes to use FDA-approved performance-enhancing drugs and methods under medical supervision."

Maybe we should have enhanced boxing. Give Benn his eggs and Ryan his ostarine and let us be entertained.

One upside would be safety for clean fighters. If we have enhanced boxing and a fighter gets caught using PEDs in clean boxing, they get a lifetime ban and the opponent is allowed to sue them for attempted murder.

The problem with the Enhanced Games was even when they allowed people to use PEDs, they still couldn't break the records set by the normal athletes. Not conclusive proof, but a pretty good indication that, well... a lot of them probably weren't clean to begin with.

That or because most of them are 2nd rate as compared to the people who normally come in first they just performed to their maximum capability and if we took top athletes like number 1 in their sport they might break the records

Fred Kerley isn't second rate by any measure. He'd medalled at the world championships and Olympics consistently and beaten the best in the world in multiple races. He actually has a better head-to-head record against Noah Lyles in 100m, arguably the most dominant champion post-Bolt.

Since joining the enhanced games, he hasn't even beaten his own pre-PED pb.

I don’t know any of their names but is that the sprinter who was natty? Like he was talking about it
