## Resource

In this episode, we discuss the Enhanced Games in Las Vegas, where athletes were allowed to use performance-enhancing drugs under medical supervision, including the event format, prizes, and rules. We also highlight a new world record swim in the men’s 50-meter freestyle, other event winners, and the mixed results for enhanced versus natural athletes. Finally, we look at the event’s business side and its connection to biotech, AI, and future enhancement and medicine. ------ 🌌 LIMITLESS HQ ⬇️ NEWSLETTER: https://limitlessft.substack.com/ FOLLOW ON X: https://x.com/LimitlessFT SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/5oV29YUL8AzzwXkxEXlRMQ APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/limitless-podcast/id1813210890 RSS FEED: https://limitlessft.substack.com/ ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Enhanced Games Unveiled 2:58 Can Drugs Break Records? 5:34 Rules, Stacks, Side Effects 7:59 Ethics Of Enhancement 9:47 Natural Winners 14:12 The Business 17:35 Biotech Acceleration 21:31 What It Means For Sports ------ RESOURCES Josh: https://x.com/JoshKale Ejaaz: https://x.com/cryptopunk7213 ------ Not financial or tax advice.
