What do the athletes get out of this?

Yeah, you mentioned there before that the drugs, it's way more controlled, I guess, than people might think.

But what type of drugs are these athletes taking?

Like, do we know specifics?

Now, Hunter Armstrong, we saw just recently, he won the 50-meter backstroke winner as an unenhanced athlete, so a clean swimmer.

And then we also had Fred Curley win the 100-meter heat, also unenhanced.

Why are there clean athletes competing at these drug-enhanced games?

And what does that actually say about these enhanced games if we have clean athletes essentially beating these enhanced or juiced up, drugged up athletes?

Does that kind of throw the games to the side?

And at the time of recording, we haven't seen any world records broken.

What would it actually mean if one of these enhanced athletes breaks a record?

Would it even count on the world stage?

Or is that just the Olympics kind of committee vibe?

How would that work?

So you've mentioned a few times that a lot of the reasoning behind this game for the athletes and for sports in general is money.

What is that telling us about the support that we should be providing our athletes if they're willing to juice up or, you know, enhance because they're not getting paid enough, they're not earning enough of a living?

Now, the CEO of Enhanced Games has said that they will transform modern sport.

What do you say to that?

And are these games even sport?

Tom, thank you so much for joining us on The Briefing.
