The controversial Enhanced Games, which now enjoys the backing of US president Donald Trump, is set to announce the host city and dates for its inaugural event on Wednesday (21 May). Here’s everything you need to know about them.
The host city and dates for the inaugural Enhanced Games will be announced on 21 May (22 May in India). The concept of Enhanced Games and the organisers have already courted controversy even before the launch of the Olympic-style sporting event due to their policy of allowing athletes to use performance-enhancing drugs.
The host city and dates for the inaugural Enhanced Games will be announced at 4 PM EST on 21 May (Wednesday), which will be 1.30 AM on 22 May (Thursday) in India.
The Enhanced Game is currently headed by Australian billionaire Aron D’Souza, but it also has backing from Donald Trump Jr, who invested in the project in February this year. The US president Donald Trump’s son, Trump Jr, invested in Enhanced Games through his group, 1789 Capital.
