Enhanced Games Explained: Inside the Steroid-Fueled Competition Drawing Olympians

Thursday, Cody Miller is receiving his last injection of human growth hormone. That will cap a nine-week cycle taking HGH, testosterone and the metabolic steroid oxandrolone. Sunday, the 2016 Olympic medalist will swim against other performance-enhancing drug users for the biggest prize money of his life.

This is the Enhanced Games, appropriately held in Las Vegas, a place where just about anything goes. With millions of dollars potentially on the line, there are essentially no rules in the swimming, running and weightlifting competitions to be staged at Resorts World. Just go as fast as you can, lift as much as you can, grab as much cash as you can. There certainly is no post-competition drug testing to worry about.
