The only enhancement he used (but everyone else on the pool was using it too) was a swimming suit so efficient, that it got eventually banned by the IOC for being deemed an unfair advantage. Also, most of the "enhanced" competitors were just returning from retirement, there's only so much you can compensate with steroids.

I first read it as "enchanted" and for a fleeting moment I was in a world of magical swimmers until I read further and realised what it actually was. It was just like when I first came across "fantasy football" and thought it was about orcs and wizards playing American football.

We need a Blood Bowl of swimming.

Let’s not forget the fact that ones who actually used drugs will be banned from any other competitions for many months or even years.

So, these other athletes are likely not in the “top tier”. It would be good to hear opinion from someone experienced to tell if it’s true.

Let’s be real, the regular Olympics are already doped. Their entire careers are on the line with the pride (and eyes) of the nation bearing down on them and demanding results… and we think they and their teams aren’t taking every edge they think they can possibly get away with? All the time famous athletes of yesteryear are being revealed to have been up to shenanigans when science catches up to retest their samples more effectively or some investigation gets a co-conspirator to spill the beans.

There’s microdosing below what tests can detect, novel designer drugs that can’t yet be detected, therapeutic use exemptions for drugs that would normally be banned, setting up situations to evade tests unless you are prepared to take them, tampering with the sample, good old fashioned corruption… probably tons of things that would never occur to me but that would to highly motivated teams with vast amounts of money on the line.

Swimming is very, very technique based.

Drugs can't compensate for skill and technique.

And no erratic emotions with an underperforming penis.

The athletes that openly take drugs to compete in these games will be banned from all other contests, so anyone who is already competitive isn't going to take part.

A top-tier athlete without PEDs is gonna outperform lesser athletes who use them.

Wait, that's a real thing??!!

He was just doped up on exercise and high on life. Gonna need an asterisk next to that win.

I don't know athletes names, and please don't think I am trying to criticise him, but If he is competing in the enhanced games then there would be presumably no testing for enhancing drugs, so we only really have his word that he doesn't use enhancing drugs which may not be the same as actually not using enhancing drugs

So did he get disqualified for not using drugs? Would be ironic.

What did he sing? Was it that song from Moana?

What in the Andrew Ryan is the fucken "enhanced games"?!

Damn transitional people, winning all the medals with their unfair advantages
