WADA slams ‘ill-conceived’ Enhanced Games After Being Named In Lawsuit

Share

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has reaffirmed its opposition to the Enhanced Games following an anti-trust lawsuit filed by organisers of the event which allows athletes to use banned drugs.

Enhanced Games said on Wednesday it was suing World Aquatics, USA Swimming and WADA for up to $800 million, alleging an illegal campaign to "crush" the event.

In a statement, the agency said "WADA stands by the firm position it has taken against this ill-conceived event."

World Aquatics (WA), the global governing body for swimming, introduced a new by-law in June banning athletes and staff from its competitions if they participated in events that permit banned drugs.
