“Hulk Olympics”: a tournament will be held in the USA, the participants of which will be allowed to use any doping
The use of all kinds of doping in recent years has become a real scourge of big sport. Millions of dollars are spent on identifying rule violators, but still news about the latest lovers of pharmaceutical miracles appears regularly. American billionaire Peter Thiel thought what if we held a separate Olympics, where all achievements in sports chemistry would be allowed. We would look at this!
PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel said in an interview with the New York Post that he was seriously thinking about holding the “Olympics on steroids.” A businessman wants to take over the financing of an international tournament where there will be no doping controls and participants can use any drugs.
To begin with, there will be only five sports disciplines in the “Hulk Olympics”. The list will include swimming, gymnastics, weightlifting, track and field and martial arts. If the pilot project is successful, then Thiel would not mind expanding the list and making the tournament an annual event. He believes that this is a great idea that will be interesting to both athletes and spectators.
Dr. Aron D'Souza, a renowned expert in the field of human empowerment through medication, has already conducted a survey among athletes. The results exceeded all expectations - 900 people became interested in the “non-sports” event. The doctor believes that Peter Thiel's idea should intrigue not only athletes and the public. Such Olympiads will allow scientists to explore human capabilities, “pumped up” by various drugs.
D'Souza also suggested that the “Hulk Olympics” will help answer other questions. For example, regarding the life expectancy of doping enthusiasts. Well, the audience will get incredible pleasure from contemplating inhuman records and abilities taken to the limit.
Peter Thiel is already ready to start financing the Olympics. Unfortunately, resolving formal issues will take some time. Most likely, the world's first tournament without doping control will take place no earlier than mid-2025. The billionaire plans to put his idea up for discussion.
In particular, Thiel will consult with the head of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Thomas Bach. Their meeting will take place in the summer in Paris, where the 2024 Olympic Games will be held. However, knowing Bach’s attitude towards doping, he is unlikely to want to have anything to do with Thiel and D’Souza’s venture.
Do you know that people use not only complex chemical compounds as doping? Sometimes simple and completely unexpected substances help.
