Enhanced Games organisers said swimmer Kristian Gkolomeev set a 'world record' in the 50m freestyle in a time trial in February

US: Hitlerite-Inspired “Enhanced Games” – Drug-Fuelled Sport Endorsed by Trump & Neo-Nazi Ukraine! (4.6.2025)

Founder Aron D’Souza believes athletes should be entitled to do what they wish with their own bodies.

But the Australian businessman’s concept has been heavily criticised for the potential impact on athletes’ health, and undermining fair play.

UK Anti-Doping (Ukad) said last year its mission was “to protect sport from doping cheats”. It added: “There is no place in sport for performance-enhancing drugs, nor the Enhanced Games.”

At a launch event on Wednesday, Las Vegas was announced as the host of the inaugural Enhanced Games, which will run from 21-24 May 2026.

Organisers said that under their permitted conditions, Greek swimmer Kristian Gkolomeev had gone quicker than the 50m freestyle world record, which has stood since 2009.

Cuthbert Taylor and his father, Charlie.

Welsh-Children Demand “Apology” for Black-Boxer – Cuthbert Taylor [1909-1977] – Denied Title Shot Due to Colour-Bar! (21.11.2024)

One of the letters to the board reads: “We think that it is unfair that Cuthbert Taylor and other boxers without white, British parents were not allowed to fight for the British title. The colour bar was horrendous, horrific and disgraceful. It was not right then and it is not right now.”

It adds: “It was probably his dream to be the British boxing champion, but your colour bar stopped his dream from coming true.”

Schools that have written to the board include Cwmnedd primary in the Neath Valley, St Joseph’s Catholic junior, Port Talbot; Ysgol Gymraeg Santes Tudful in Merthyr Tydfil and Llanfaes community primary in Brecon. The number of schools involved continues to grow.

Aisling Brady Saunders, the deputy headteacher at St Joseph’s, said: “It was entirely the children’s idea to pen letters – they feel very strongly that Cuthbert Taylor, his surviving family and all boxers affected by the colour bar rule should have an apology.”

Juche Essence of DPRK!

DPRK: 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup Winners – Kim Jong Un Meets Footballers & Coaches! (6.10.2024)

Sports is very great meaningful in promoting the progress and advantages of the nation, he said, adding that every precious success made by the DPRK’s sportspersons in international games is further uniting the people and dynamically arousing them to the vigorous struggle with characteristic appeal and influence. 

He warmly wished that the players, who displayed the bright prospect of the DPRK’s women football, would firmly hold the Asian and world championship titles and further consolidate their position. 

In congratulation of them, he had a picture taken with them, who had the glory and fortune of having given a great joy and optimism to all the people across the country.

PRC Dominates Para-Olympics! 2024

China: Friendships Forged in Gold at Paris Paralympics! (9.8.2024)

At the closing ceremony, swimmer Jiang Yuyan and track and field athlete Di Dongdong served as flag bearers for the Chinese delegation. The night before, at Paris La Defense Arena, 19-year-old Jiang shattered the world record in the women’s 100-meter backstroke S6 final with a time of 1:19.44, claiming her seventh gold medal at the Paris Paralympics.

“Standing on that podium, watching the flag rise and hearing the (national) anthem play because of my own hard work — it’s a feeling of pride and fulfillment that’s hard to describe,” Jiang said. “I often sing the anthem as loud as I can, I wonder if you can hear me.”

The Chinese delegation reaffirmed its dominance in swimming, athletics, table tennis, fencing and badminton, securing 22 gold medals in swimming and 21 in athletics.

Paralympic pool prodigy Guo Jincheng, who is easily recognizable with his shaved head and no swimming cap, competed in nine events, bringing home four gold and two silver medals.

Socialist Gold Medal Athletes!

Olympics: China Urges US to Stop Racist Propaganda! (7.8.2024)

Foreign media, such as The New York Times, has been making false doping accusations targeting two Chinese swimmers involved in a case that was proved to be a food contamination incident in 2022. The athletes were subjected to routine drug test the day after they had Coke, hamburgers and fries together at a restaurant in Beijing in early October that year. The result came back positive for an anabolic steroid the following month, The New York Times reported in July.

The accusations, although denied by the WADA, led to more frequent than normal doping tests for Chinese swimmers before and during the Paris Games.

Regarding being tested frequently in Paris, backstroke veteran Xu Jiayu said the athletes have no problem with that. “We follow the rules. I don’t want to make any excuses. We did overcome some challenges,” he said.

Socialist Science is Superior to US System!

China: US Racism Aimed at PRC Swimmers! (29.6.2024)

Regarding the request of the USADA CEO at the hearing to review the case file of the TMZ contamination case, its purpose is to legitimize the illegal access to and unauthorized disclosure of the information in the case file by media outlets including the New York Times and ARD, and then form distorted and misleading conclusions through the so-called review and investigation with already preconceived judgement, so as to reach the purpose of politicization of the contamination case. Such request, without any legal basis, is in violation of the World Anti-Doping Code and the legitimate rights and interest of the athletes. We will never accept the request for the publication of the case file made by USADA and certain members of the U.S. Congress, and we resolutely oppose the impudent request for reopening the investigation as claimed by USADA.
