Would you like to see an Enhanced Olympics?


Competitors could take whatever stimulants or have any enhancements they liked.

iow, The Olympics

reply

No need for any cloak and dagger stuff. Everything’s in the open - no limits. Just imagine how crazy that would be.

reply

I would, but I would like the normal Olympics to stay enhancement free and anyone found taking any enhancement drugs to be banned from sport for life.

I have no problem with people using whatever they can to enhance their performance competing against others doing the same so long as they are honest about it.

reply

Absolutely, so the idea is that we would have the Olympics, Paralympics and Enhanced Olympics.

reply

Yup. I'd go for that.

reply

No. Just plain no. The Olympics are about the limits of human performance, not about science. I resent disrespect for the Olympic Games. If you want something like this, do not call the games Olympics.

reply

It was meant to be tongue in cheek.

reply

Of course it was, Andy. Does anybody actually still believe the Olympics are really about the limits of human performance? The corruption, fraud and bribery is another aspect why I have no respect whatsoever for the Olympics.

reply

Kane has no sense of humor...you are probably on his telephone book of an 'ignore list' now

In other words, fine company👍

reply

People get upset about everything nowadays.

reply

As if there's no science to reaching the limits of human performance?

And if you don't think there's cheating to gain an edge at the Olympics, when the stakes are so high, I have a bridge to sell you. Wake up and resent the corruption that disrespects the spirit of the Olympics in the current games.

Ben Johnson would be up for this, He can run faster than a speeding milk float when he's taken something.

reply

This made me laugh more than it should have.

reply

It could give a whole new meaning to the starting line.

reply

Ha! Yes I indeed would watch these olympics. Let’s spice it up and throw methgators in the pool for the swimming. A fencing on adderall competition could be fun, and I’d love to see a hurdles on sedatives event.

reply

Used to be a guy on sports radio here in Toronto who was advocating this. He still claims Ben Johnson was robbed of the gold medal from the 1988 Olympics as everyone was juiced back then.

reply

There was rampant cheating (including Carl Lewis). But it was the fans who were robbed.

The Enhanced Olympics has been in existence for a long time.

reply

Johnson and his handlers made the mistake of getting caught.

reply

eh, depends on who you are. when certain athletes are caught, it gets buried.

reply

Canada held a Royal Commission into the Johnson scandal, it went on for years.

reply

It would make me more likely to watch and I'd bet I'm not alone

Did you see this on Reddit yesterday? I enjoyed reading all of the responses. Someone said the LSD 100 Meter Dash would be fun lol.

reply

Lol, no. I guess great minds think alike. Can you imagine how fast the 100m could be done if someone was completely coke and amphetamined to the max!
