I asked the World Anti-Doping Agency this, and their view is all drugs, when taken in effective doses, carry risks.

They pointed out steroids, for example, can increase the risk of heart attacks, stroke and liver damage.

A human growth hormone can trigger diabetes, heart problems and a normal growth in organs and bones.

testosterone can lead to increased risk of hypertension, heart attack and blood clots, as well as infertility and testicular shrinkage.

They say there is plenty of published peer-reviewed literature on this.

I did speak to a couple of scientists at Birmingham University and they made another point that sometimes we don't see this stuff

for 10, 20, 30 years afterwards.

So you can feel absolutely great and have these benefits.

And I don't think anyone is denying that if you take a bunch of testosterone, you will get stronger, you will probably feel better, but there will be side effects too.

Well, they will say that for the ones that the athletes are using on Sunday, these are all FDA approved.

On the official Enhanced Games website, there are other drugs such as peptides, these new things that are coming through that aren't currently FDA approved.

However, Enhanced are hoping that will change.

And there is currently a battle at the moment to get more of peptides through Congress and

There's every possibility that a lot of these peptides will be FDA approved in a year or two.

But whether they are safe, we know the long-term side effects.

I'd say we don't know about that because they haven't actually been adequately studied enough yet with the rigor that you would get with approved medicines.

Well, you only have to go back to before the Iron Curtain, look at the number of East German athletes, look at the number of Soviet athletes that broke records, did incredibly on things.

And then years later, they were diagnosed with all sorts of issues.

Indeed, I think in 2005 in Germany, a number of East German athletes took a pharmaceutical company to court.

What Enhance would say is those athletes were taking enormous doses.
