The Sport Integrity Commission Te Kahu Raunui (the Commission) condemns the Enhanced Games as irresponsibly promoting a dangerous sporting event that jeopardises athlete health and safety while fundamentally eroding the core values of fair play and integrity. 

Sport Integrity Commission board chair Don Mackinnon says; 

"The Enhanced Games exploits athletes by putting their health and careers at risk for the sake of purported entertainment and financial gain. Doping in sport is never acceptable and we condemn any activities that undermine the safety and fairness of sport. 

“We join WADA and other anti-doping and sporting bodies around the world in standing for clean sport, athlete health, and the integrity of international competition.” 

The Commission believes New Zealand athletes and athletes around the world should be able to compete with the confidence that their competitors are clean and that those who choose to engage in doping will be caught and subject to appropriate sanctions. 

The Commission is responsible for anti-doping in New Zealand and works to maintain New Zealand’s good reputation when it comes to combatting doping in sport and ensuring that sport is safe and fair for all participants.
