“They’re both extremely valuable when it comes to racing. As a matter of percentage, it could be anywhere between one to two per cent each.

I wouldn’t be surprised if both of us go under the official world record,” he said.

British 100m sprinter Reece Prescod also defended his decision to end his retirement and compete in Las Vegas.

“I’m not a bad boy, and I’ve not broken any rules.

If you look at my actual career, I have not got one naughty X next to my name, not one missed test, not one violation.

So when I got my email from Wada, they said thank you Reece, you’ve now come off the list, I was good to go,” he said.

Prescod confirmed that private discussions about future editions are taking place, but doubted other British track and field athletes will follow immediately.

“I think people want to join. There are some that whisper, what’s Enhanced like?

What’s your contract like? There’s always that kind of secret inquiry.

I don't think anyone's brave enough,” he added.

Event organizers emphasized that all infrastructure, including swimming pools, running tracks, and timing mechanisms, will meet global regulatory standards.

“We have the best timing systems in the world. We have the best officials in the world.

These venues are to world and Olympic standards,” said Rick Adams, the Enhanced Games’ chief sporting officer.

CEO Max Martin compared the event structure to major entertainment broadcasts, describing it as a one-night Super Bowl of weightlifting, swimming, and sprinting, designed for internet-first social media consumption.
