The Pro-Doping Enhanced Games Are Partly the Olympics' Fault
Performance-enhancing drugs destroy the bodies, minds and reputations of athletes. Nonetheless, a group of investors, including Peter Thiel and Donald Trump Jr., see a business opportunity. They recently announced the first edition of the Enhanced Games — a kind of doping Olympics in which athletes are allowed and even encouraged to take PEDs — will be held in Las Vegas next May. It's a perverse concept, but that hasn't stopped four Olympians from already signing on. Other athletes will likely follow, lured by millions of dollars in prize money and appearance fees.

French Open: Carlos Alcaraz shows sportsmanship by conceding a point to Ben Shelton
