鈥業magine if a 60-year-old broke Usain Bolt鈥檚 record鈥�: the story behind the Enhanced Games, the Olympics where everyone dopes

It鈥檚 got billionaires, world champions and director Ridley Scott on board. But would an athletics competition where taking drugs is encouraged put the honesty back in sport 鈥� or cause rifts, risks and addictions?

Quotes by Adharanand Finn (?)

“The Devil whispered in my ear: 鈥榊ou鈥檙e not strong enough to withstand the storm.鈥� I whispered back: 鈥業 am the storm.”

“Right before you head out running, it can be hard to remember exactly why you're doing it. You often have to override a nagging sense of futility, lacing up your shoes, telling yourslef that no matter how unlikely it seems right now, after you finish you will be glad you went. It's only afterward that it makes sense, although even then it's hard to rationalize why. You just feel right. After a run, you feel at one with the world, as though some unspecified, innate need has been fulfilled.”
