UK Sport’s performance director has said the decision of British athletes to sign up for the controversial Enhanced Games is “incredibly sad”, and suggested it could be a permanent barrier to any athletes wishing to compete for Team GB in the future.
Former world champion and Olympic silver medallist Ben Proud was the first Briton to sign up for the much-criticised event, which allows athletes to take performance-enhancing drugs which are banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada).
