A Swimmer Broke a World Record at the ‘Steroid Olympics’ - WIRED
Overview
An unofficial “Enhanced Games” in Las Vegas featured dozens of athletes competing while using performance-enhancing drugs; a swimmer broke a world record amid widespread secrecy about which substances were used. Organizers promoted an ethos of enhancement and consent, but the event carried a grifty, dystopian feel and mixed messaging about health, safety and ethics. The spectacle highlights broader questions about how drugs change athletic performance and public perceptions of enhancement, connecting to research into how pharmacological interventions such as rapamycin might interact with exercise adaptations.
