Olympic silver medallist Ben Proud will compete in the inaugural Enhanced Games next May as he retires from traditional competition to move into an event that allows athletes to take performance-enhancing drugs.
The announcement comes weeks after the Briton won 50 free silver at the World Championships in Singapore and a little over a year since he was second behind Cam McEvoy at Paris 2024.
“My ambition has always been to be the fastest man on the planet,” said Proud. “I’ve spent years striving for that within traditional sport, but my motivations have shifted. Now, I want to focus on performance at its highest level and challenge myself in new ways. The Enhanced Games gives me that chance – to test the limits of human potential with the tools and possibilities of our time.”
