There have been frequent reports of systematic doping in China. Now the Chinese anti-doping agency has called for a boycott of the Enhanced Games, where doping is expressly permitted.

The Chinese Anti-Doping Agency (CHINADA) has condemned the Enhanced Games and called for a global boycott. The Enhanced Games will be held for the first time in Las Vegas in May 2026. Swimmers, runners and weightlifters will be allowed to compete explicitly using substances generally prohibited as doping. There will be prize money of up to 500,000 US dollars per competition and bonuses for world records.
