LONDON, June 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to the
recent position statement by the International Federation of Sports
Medicine (FIMS) regarding the Enhanced Games, the organization
seeks to address the concerns raised and clarify the mission and
principles guiding the Enhanced Games.
Dr Aron Ping D'Souza, Founder and
President of the Enhanced Games, stated: "The title of the FIMS
article 'We want healthy athletes and fair competition' aligns
completely with our ethos. The Enhanced Games are advancing healthy
athletes by taking performance enhancements out of the darkness and
into clinical supervision. Our commitment is to create a
transparent and scientifically guided environment where athletes
can achieve their best performances under safe conditions.
"The Enhanced Games do not promote the indiscriminate use of
restricted substances. Instead, we advocate for the safe,
responsible and clinically supervised use of performance
enhancements. This approach aims to reduce the risks associated
with unregulated practices and bring them under medical oversight.
Our rigorous medical screening processes are being designed to
ensure the safety and well-being of all participants, aligning with
the highest standards of athlete health and protection.
"We recognize the concerns expressed by FIMS about the potential
health hazards of performance enhancements. However, the Enhanced
Games are dedicated to pioneering new methodologies that could
offer significant benefits to the broader fight against abuse of
performance enhancements in sports where their use is restricted.
By bringing enhancement practices from secrecy into the open, we
aim to facilitate a better understanding of the substances
involved, their life cycles, and their effects on health and
performance. This knowledge is critical for developing more
effective anti-abuse strategies and safeguarding athletes'
health."
Dr D'Souza emphasized, "The Enhanced Games are about promoting a
fair and inclusive sporting environment where athletes can compete
at their peak while being able to use performance enhancements
under medical supervision. Our approach can provide invaluable
insights for researchers, ultimately contributing to fairer and
safer sports worldwide.
"We welcome dialogue and collaboration with FIMS and other
stakeholders in the sports and medical communities to ensure the
Enhanced Games fulfils its mission of enhancing athlete performance
safely and ethically. Together, we can pioneer new standards in
sports that prioritize athlete health, fairness, and the spirit of
competition."
