Bravo. Well done

So I went down the Enhanced Games rabbit hole on the JRE podcast.

TLDR:

Anything goes as long as the PED is FDA approved and you work with doctor. Decentralized venues. Held annually. 5 event categories, track, swimming, weights, combat sports, gymnastics.1M prize for breaking a world record. First games is late 2025. Corporate sponsors showing real interest.

They held a ‘casting call’ with interested athletes. 1000 showed up, including some Paris Olympians. Ex Olympic swimmer has committed to ‘juice to the gills’ to break 50m record.

I think this has some legs. We might get the SNL steroid Olympics we’ve always wanted. But we likely already do now. I’m willing to bet no juice monkey will break any world records. That’ll be telling.

Mrs. Plug was hilarious the AM. We’re watching swimming…From the couch. With blankies.
She says: “We’re such wimps…ooo it’s cold I don’t wanna swim. We’d both drown.”
Meanwhile there’s a woman from the UK with no arms or legs wiggling up to the starting line on a, (no ebike for her), 3 wheel scooter thing, looking like a motorboat with a v-wake behind her, then smiling at the finish.

And the guy shooting arrows with his foot WON THE GOLD. With his fucking foot! Amazing.

OK. We’re working on the house right now, and we cannot get this woman out of our minds. Like:
“I can’t put a damn table together and this chick would come wiggling in on her scooter giggling in her English accent: ‘Oh here luv, need a hand? Oops just kidding!!! I can do it really now. I’ll use my tongue. Cheerio!’”

Not Paris 2024 related, but Olympics in general. You've got some splainin to do, WADA!
"‘Stop that urgently.’ Possible path to innocence for Russian skater was held back at WADA’s urging"

A husband and wife both won gold medals. Tara Woodhall at the 2024 Paris Olympics in the long jump. Hunter Woodhall at the 2024 Paris Paralympics in the 400 meter race. 'merica!

Meanwhile WADA is trying to ban the US/Western Hemisphere representative from the upcoming executive committee meeting because they don't like the US actions re the Chinese swimmers.
Sounds like Russia can't afford to pay off WADA, China can.

Pretty awesome that this is the organization trying to keep the competitions fair.
