What would the world of athletics look like if ath video duration is 6:15. What would the world of athletics look like if athletes were allowed to take drugs? That's what the organisers of The Enhanced Games want to find out. In mainstream sport, taking performance-enhancing drugs is strictly forbidden. It's known as 'doping' and if athletes are caught doing it, they can face fines, suspensions or even bans from professional sport. But in The Enhanced Games, doping is allowed. Is this an insult to sporting tradition or an acceptance of scientific progress? Pippa and Neil discuss this and teach you some new vocabulary.
