The inaugural edition of improved games has attracted a lot of attention this week, with several key announcements published on the waves of news.
Among the details revealed in recent days only, we have learned the following:
Regarding the last chip involving Mangussen, one of his Australian teammates has since spoken of improved matches, with a free Olympic champion of 50 meters free Cameron MCEVOY expressing his disapproval.
“This does not count in any way, form or form when you take drugs or wear one of the prohibited combinations, or both,” McEvoy, 31 years old, 31 years old told MCEVOY, 31 years old Age this week.
“This has no relevance for the Olympic compositions or the 50 -meter world championships, or for the international rankings around them.”
McEvoy continued: “Another angle that concerns me is the unknown potential cost that this has for long -term athletes,” said McEvoy. “I understand that certain measures are put in place around the security of these athletes throughout this process.
“But there are long -term negative effects associated with maximized PEDs (drugs improving performance) and still, many unknowns around the severity of these effects.
“In the past, humans have underestimated what they do not yet understand completely. For example, a quick look at the early use of radioactive materials serves as a warning. I am in no way an expert, but it seems imprudent to think that in this context, the prioritization of performance on security is sheltered from this same pride. ”
In the same article, Magnussen responded to MCEVOY’s comments, responding: “If I were cam, and I was going to be able to put a costume and run for $ 1 million (1.56 million dollars) – more paid as anhlete – for me, it would be a non -race.
“At this stage of cam, he sees it as a slideshow. If you have stayed in the test pool all the time (by continuously accepting to pass drug tests), so that should not be a problem. It seems to be a free blow.” (Age)
Magnussen and McEvoy represented Australia on the international circuit for a number of years and were both members of the free bronze medal in the 4x100m country for the 2016 Olympic Games.
We have pointed out how the World Anti -Doping Agency (AMA) does not vehemently agree with the concept of improved games and is concerned with the long -term health of the participation athletes.
“Wada condemns improved games as a dangerous and irresponsible concept and is very concerned about its emergence,” Wada said in the press release. “The health and well-being of athletes are the number one priority of the AMA.”
