The Enhanced Games, a controversial event promoting drug use, has signed Megan Romano, a gold medalist at the Barcelona 2013 World Aquatics Championships, as its first female athlete. The event faces strong opposition from organizations like the International Weightlifting Federation, World Anti-Doping Agency, and the Caribbean Regional Anti-Doping Organisation, who cite health risks and the undermining of fair play. Romano defends her participation as an opportunity to push human performance in a transparent, scientifically-backed environment with fair compensation. The Enhanced Games, scheduled to debut in May 2026 in Las Vegas, offers $500,000 per event and $1 million for world records in specific events and is backed by venture capitalists, including Donald Trump Jr.
