This may be the most absurdly juiced athlete competing in the Enhanced Games this weekend
What would it be like to watch a group of world-class athletes, juiced to the gills, with legs the size of tree trunks and biceps so big they need their own area code, compete on the world stage? That’s exactly what the Advanced Games are aiming to find out when the controversial competition kicks off on Sunday, May 24.
The Advanced Games, often referred to as the “Olympics on Steroids”, are a new Olympic-style sports competition founded by Australian entrepreneur Aron D’Souza. The project was inspired by the idea that elite sports already operate in a gray area when it comes to performance enhancement and that athletes should be allowed to use medically supervised enhancement technologies openly rather than hiding them. I was willing to guess that baseball’s “Steroid Era,” with Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa dropping bombs left and right, was his favorite era.
ATHLETIC EVENT WHICH ALLOWS STEROIDS SUES THE WORLD ANTI-DOPING AGENCY AND SWIMMING GOVERNING BODIES FOR $800 MILLION AWARD

Organizers frame the event as pro-science, arguing that modern anti-doping rules are hypocritical, outdated and restrictive, with an excessive focus on “human optimization” as an alternative to the International Olympic Committee and World Anti-Doping Agency systems. I disagree, but watching these athletes undergo Steve Rogers-like transformations was crazy, and the games haven’t even started yet.
Unlike the Olympics, athletes competing in the Advanced Games are allowed to use performance-enhancing substances such as testosterone, HGH and EPO under medical supervision, but organizers say the drugs must be regulated and monitored.
When it comes to the most energetic athlete we’ve ever seen, look no further than Australian swimmer and former Olympian “The Missile” Magnussen.

It is easily the most important transformation. He literally looks like a combination of the Michelin Man and Arnold Schwarzenegger. My god! Look at these traps.
Magnussen was one of the best sprint freestyle swimmers of the 2010s and one of Australia’s most successful male swimmers in the 100m freestyle. He became the first Australian man to win the world title in the 100m freestyle, winning gold at the 2011 and 2013 World Championships, and is a three-time Olympic medalist.

At the opening of this weekend’s Advanced Games, Magnussen will also wear the full-body polyurethane super swimsuit, which was banned after the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Magnussen is reported to be 6’6″ 250 lbs. For comparison, Michael Phelps is reported to be 6’4″ 195 lbs. Dude is a walking, talking tank.
Enhanced Games also recently released substance use data from its clinical trial, revealing that 91% of athletes used testosterone, 79% used HGH, 62% used stimulants like Adderall, 50% used metabolic modulators, 41% used EPO, and 29% used anabolic steroids. So yes, these athletes will be basically superhuman.

Competitors reportedly include Olympic athletes and former world champions such as Fred Kerley, Ben Proud, James Magnussen, Hafthor Bjornsson, Kristian Gkolomeev and Reece Prescod.
Next, I need them to hold a home run derby with baseball players, bolstered by special appearances from Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire, Alex Rodriguez, and Jose Canseco. I will act accordingly.
