Donald Trump Jr.-backed 'Steroid Olympics' are happening on Sunday. [View all]
A new sports competition featuring Olympic medalists will take place in Las Vegas on Sunday. The twist? The competitors can take performance-enhancing drugs.
The Enhanced Games, dubbed the “Steroid Olympics,” will see 42 athletes compete across swimming, track and weightlifting.
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the International Olympic Committee have been highly critical of the games, which were announced in 2023. Others, however, see opportunity.
Donald Trump Jr.’s investment firm, 1789 Capital, is joining Peter Thiel on the cap table of the company behind the games and leading its Series B in 2025.
