Enhanced Games officials have filed a complaint to the American justice system against World Aquatics, USA Swimming, and the World Anti-Doping Agency. They are demanding at least $200 million in damages – potentially up to 800 million – to these entities, which “ have dominated the world of international aquatic sports for decades » and who try to « eliminate any potential competitors ».
In the crosshairs: the World Aquatics regulations, which threaten toexclude from all its competitions, including the Olympic Games, athletes and supervisors who associate with the Enhanced Games. « The audacity of World Aquatics in invoking integrity while under investigation by Congress and the US Department of Justice for its complicity in the cover-up of the Chinese swim team's 2021 doping scandal is truly astounding. This is not about fair play, but about a decades-old monopoly. that desperately tries to crush competition and treat athletes like indentured servants rather than the dedicated professionals they are ", underlines the organization's press release.
