Following news that the first Brit (former Team GB swimmer Ben Proud) will be joining the Enhanced Games in Las Vegas next year, we asked voters to consider their stance on this new competition. The VoteTopic explored fairness in sport, and whether performance-enhancing measures help athletes put their best foot forward or overstep the mark. Will the Enhanced Games, due to kick off in May 2026, change the game for good? Close to 67,000 young people voted, with many more debating the issue in their classrooms.
Secondary, 16+ & College voters were asked: “Are performance-enhancing drugs the future of sport?”, while Primary 7-11 voters discussed: “Should sport always be fair?” and Primary 5-7 voters considered, “Is it ever ok to cheat in a game?”
66,570 young people in the UK have taken part in this vote.
"Sport should always be fair because if you keep breaking the rules (e.g. handball in football) you get an unfair advantage.”
"Separate competitions for performance-enhancing drugs makes it equal and fair- as long as they stay apart!"
"No - Performance-enhanced sport is completely unnecessary; sport is about athletes showing their natural ability. One drug could lead to another [which] is a dangerous game to play."
