World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Director General Olivier Niggli has unleashed a fiery critique of the controversial Enhanced Games, calling the event a "medically unethical" gamble with athletes' lives. In an interview with CGTN Sports Scene, Niggli compared the games to a "Roman circus" where organizers prioritize spectacle over safety 🚨.
"Taking performance-enhancing substances is like playing Russian roulette with your health," Niggli warned, highlighting risks ranging from immediate side effects to long-term damage. "This isn’t some Marvel movie – there’s no superhero serum. We’re talking real, irreversible consequences."
The WADA chief also raised alarms about the event’s potential influence on young athletes: "Imagine a TikTok trend where kids think doping is cool. That’s a nightmare scenario." He revealed coordinated efforts with global sports federations to counter the games’ messaging 🛑.
While the Enhanced Games pitches itself as a "science-forward" competition, critics argue it’s more Black Mirror than breakthrough. As debates rage about ethics in sports tech, one thing’s clear: This isn’t your average gym bro debate 💉 vs. 💪.
