Summary
A whole galaxy of steroids, metabolic modulators, and synthetic hormones coursing through the blood of a few dozen swimmers, sprinters, and weightlifters. On Sunday, May 24, at a $50 million arena built in a casino parking lot in Las Vegas, the reporter witnessed a libertarian thought experiment come to life. The open-air venue was compact and decked out in bright blue, with a six-lane, 100-meter track down one side, a four-lane Olympic-length swimming pool down the other, and a weightlifting platform and stage at the front. Australian swimmer James Magnussen was the first athlete to sign up with Enhanced but hasn't broken any world records. The day started with the weightlifters, under the blazing sun. In the men’s 100-meter sprint, the non-enhanced US athlete Fred Kerley romped to an easy victory.
