Manchester Evening News
|September 19, 2025
Athletics World president Lord Sebastian Coe refused to comment on the Enhanced Games after provisionally suspended former world 100m champion Fred Kerley became the first track athlete to join the highly controversial event.

The Enhanced Games, set for a May 2026 debut in Las Vegas, allow the use of performance-enhancing substances and methods under medical supervision. Athletics Integrity Unit head Brett Clothier on Thursday branded the Games as ‘grotesque.’
One of the venture-capital backed event's self-proclaimed selling points is its compensation package.
A payout of one million US dollars (£732,675) is on offer for any athlete who completes the 100m faster than Usain Bolt's world record.
