Olympic great Kieren Perkins blasts Enhanced Games, saying ‘someone will die’ video | Media

Australian Sports Commission chief executive Kieren Perkins warns the push to allow athletes to take performance enhancing drugs and compete in an organised event called the Enhanced Games could lead to deaths. Perkins spoke at the SportNXT conference in Melbourne on Tuesday, saying the entire proposition was dangerous and posed legal and ethical issues. ‘The idea of an Enhanced Games is laughable,’ he says. ‘Someone will die if we allow that sort of environment to continue to prosper and flourish’
