Enhanced Games, supported by Peter Thiel and Donald Trump Jr.’s 1789 Capital, is set to revolutionize the Olympics by introducing a competition where athletes are allowed to use performance-enhancing drugs. Scheduled to kick off in Las Vegas in May 2026, the games offer lucrative $1 million rewards for breaking world records and follow a business model similar to Red Bull’s, leveraging the event as a promotional platform for future enhancement products.
