Alex Yee fears Enhanced Games will be ‘dangerous’ for former GB teammatesAlex Yee will race a triathlon in front of homw fans in London this summerOlympic triathlon champion Alex Yee fears the Enhanced Games will be dangerous to athletes who accept big-money offers to take part in the pro-doping multi-sport competition.
Two of Yee’s former Team GB colleagues, springer Reece Prescod and swimmer Ben Proud, are among those set to compete in the first edition of the Enhanced Games later this year.
There’s a reason why substances are banned and it’s priority to health and wellbeing of our athletes, primarily,” said Yee.
The company behind it, whose investors include Donald Trump Jr and Peter Thiel, has also launched a supplements business in order to offer some of the products available to Enhanced Games athletes to the paying public.
Greek swimmer Kristian Gkolomeev beat the long course 50m freestyle world record in a behind-closed doors race with a fellow Enhanced athlete, Australian James Magnussen, last year.
