Yes, history will be made at Resorts World this weekend as 50 athletes compete in the first, Enhanced Games where PEDS are encouraged. The sports are track, swimming, weightlifting and strongman. One of Trump's sons is an investor. So is some rich Saudi. I see the vision. It has the potential to be huge. Unfortunately, no tickets are being sold. It's invitation only. But it will be on many social media outlets.

I realize Ben Johnson was juiced, but I wonder if it’s so out in the open and encouraged, if stronger compounds being used will cause records to be smashed. I know that’s the point, just wondering how much of a bump we will see.
-
Looking forward to competitors dying during events.

a doping expert went back and tested samples from 1988 with up to date testing skills and he said almost all the samples he tested came back positive,, he binned his findings because he said most of the medal winners were using
Carl Lewis failed multiple tests but they always buried the results, he shouldnt have even been at the 88 games.

Hapthor going to smash another deadlift record. 8)

Will be very underwhelming

I am talking out of both sides of my mouth in terms of my own past, but this disgusts me. Is it Donald Jr. or Eric? So much for any presidential aspirations. The whole carnival is getting out of hand in so many ways all at once, that it is kind of mind boggling.

Carl Lewis should be a part of the opening ceremony

I liked it better when the presidents sons were drug addicted fake business men.

The so called enhanced games will feature athletes on less PED's than they normally take. The doctors are controlling the enhancements and they are at half the level the average strength athletes take in the normal competitions.

Hahahaha.

I don’t disagree with that edit, but have you now set yourself up as Copy-Editor-In-Chief at getbig? You have your work cut out for you.

Exactly!
-
Those enhanced games look far more honest to me. The olympics are one big hypocritical money-money-money circus.
In some olympic sports professionals can compete, in others not. Drugs testing is a joke, and has always been. Every olympic games are declared "the best ever" and "the cleanest ever"
The IOC is highly corrupt, same for the big global soccer organisations UEFA and FIFA

The secret to having records fall is finding the genetic talent. All about the genetics. A big pool helps. Getting them started very young also helps (child abuse via brutal training and/or drugs). I once read the Chinese chose children to train by looking at the hair on their forearms, the more hair the more potential in strength sports (supposedly). The Chinese also torture the children by beating them with sticks while they are training. If you have a country with strict child abuse laws and cultural aversion to being harsh on kids, forget about leading in certain disciplines like gymnastics. Drugs help but talent is much more important.
BIG AL mentioned the restrictions which takes a lot of the fun out of it IMO.

I kind of agree with you – in the sense that I often share your frustration over what feels like lazy and imprecise writing. But I can also appreciate its merit when it is used as a form of semantic nuance to convey emotional sentiments that are hard to define, or to describe a rough approximation of something else. Take, for instance, Shizzo: a kind of pig-like creature whose pathetic attempts to maintain sobriety were kind of entertaining in the way that witnessing a disaster sometimes is.

I liked Jack Kerouac's neologisms :D In On the Road he didn't use proper punctuation either, I think there were no periods, just one continuous sentence. Supposedly written in 3 days on stimulants.
"Jack Kerouac utilized neologisms and coined words to break syntactical inhibition and capture the spontaneous cadence of jazz and his own "mindflow." His made-up words were designed to evoke sound and genuine emotion rather than fit dictionary definitions."

A semhanktics world record? I’ll get the asterisk ready.

nope, reads exactly the same without it

As if everyone in every sport is normally competing clean.
::)
This is just another normal event where there is no drug testing ensuring that no one gets didsqualified.

Yeah, I think creative writing can be more relaxed and free spirited. The point is to generate an emotional response. Jeff should check out Finnegans Wake, LOL.

Kind of. You could argue it's more literal and academic now. A 'kind of pig-like creature' is a little more fun and helps to craft the image of a fat sack of shit sleeping in an old BMW as opposed to an actual pig/man hybrid. As to Van's point, have fun with it. Probably not worth losing sleep over. :D

Johnson should have been given back his gold medal and his record. The three drug enhanced athletes who accepted their medals while knowing they were just as dirty are scumbags.

every time someone says it its like a slap in the fcae to me, it jumps out of what they are saying.
Even when used in where you would think it was required its still not
A chipolata is a kind of sausage
A chipolate is a sausage
see, still not needed... its now used like a filler terminolgy of people who are fucking pretentious
I hear it used where people say "there was kind of 4 of us" , really, were there 5 or 3 of you or was it actually four, using the term "there were about 4 of us" is a more acceptable phrase to use but for me I need a number, not a fucking estimate
There is a guy on the radio here in the UK and he says "kind of" every other sentence, he also seems to have guests on who say it as well and they get into a "kind of" battler it seems trying to out do each other.

Yeah, that would drive me nuts. Listen to this guy below. Even I could only hack around 10 minutes before having enough of it. He's probably the most extreme example. It's your worst nightmare.

Haven't paid to close attention to this, other than noticing that noted ballbag Mitchell Hoopers's stack was quite light. Are they watching the athletes stacks year round, or only for a few months leading up to competition? Could they run it high most of the year, then just back off for a few weeks?

I accidentally saw of a Greg Doucette video where he criticized Hooper and I saw the stack. I caught only a a couple of minutes of it and supposedly his blood work was horrible. The stack was bullshit, 705 test? Come on. That one study put never-juiced guys on 600 test. He supposedly added 100mg Anadrol and 50mg Halo to this. He's a big boy wanting win, that stack isn't maximizing the potential effect from roids. I guess it's just this "I have to protect the kids" bullshit. It doesn't quite have to be on the Scott Mendelson 20 Anadrol level but that's not realistic. One Polish fella on professionalmuscle said Pudz told him he did 6 Anadrol with lots of tren and test all through his career yet this guy tops out at 2? Even I took 5 for a day or two, 2-3 for longer periods :D

Professional cycling is a grueling sport, but corrupt and full of hypocrites.
If Lance Armstrong was French, would he have been disqualified? I don't think so
look at the average speeds in the Tour de france:
Overall speed
Overall Speed of the Tour de France
The 2025 edition was the fastest Tour de France in history. Tadej Pogačar rode 3,302 km in 76h 00m 32s, thus realising an overall speed of 43.4 km/h or 27.0 mph.[17]
Every year we say 'it is the hardest Tour ever, the hardest thing we have ever done'. It is all so crazy but, honestly, I know that this year was something on another level.
— Tadej Pogacar, on Tour de France 2025[18]
The slowest Tour de France was the edition of 1919, when Firmin Lambot's average speed was 24.1 km/h.[19]
Recent overall speeds
Overall Speed
Year Winners' Average Speed[20]
2016 39.616 km/h
2017 40.997 km/h
2018 40.210 km/h
2019 40.576 km/h
2020 39.872 km/h
2021 41.165 km/h
2022 42.031 km/h
2023 41.431 km/h
2024 41.818 km/h
2025 43.440 km/h
Highest average speed of all Tour de Frances by Lance Armstrong: 41.7 km/h or 25.9 mph in 2005.
This is the same in nearly all one day cycling tours or in multiple week cycling tours. They are now (way) faster than 10 or 20 years ago
All clean of course ;D

Professional cycling is a grueling sport,
It was more interesting before the drug testing.
Pot belge
The term is commonly used to describe a mixture of drugs, variously constituted from cocaine, heroin, caffeine, amphetamines, and other analgesics.
The mixture has become widely associated with the world of professional cycling where it was used for many years, before the institution of highly regulated testing.
In his memoir 'Prisonnier du dopage', former pro cyclist Philippe Gaumont describes using pot belge for winter training purposes more than as aid during competition: "J'ai toujours entendu les anciens dire que prendre les amphétamines pour une grande sortie d'entraînement aide à 'débloquer le moteur'" (rough translation from French: "I've always heard old timers say that taking amphetamines before a training ride helps to 'unclog the motor'"). Gaumont describes his use of pot belge during a seven-hour training ride of the Cofidis team in the mountains at Arcalis in 1997, where he easily outdistanced the team's climbers thanks to the drug. After that, he became dependent on the pot belge for training.
Can't unclog the motor in the "enhanced games."

I listened for a few minutes and every single time he said it you could remove it and it made zero difference to what he was saying.
Correct, I wouldnt talk to that guy if I knew him.
