    Greece's Christian Golomev racing the clock. This promotional video released by Enhanced Games shows their athlete beating the world record in the 50 free by .02 of a second. A victory fuelled by a cocktail of performance enhancing drugs and one retired Australian Olympian, James Magnusson, would have liked to claim. I was super disappointed. He spent five months in the United States training and juicing. I was on a performance stack, so I was using things prescribed by a doctor. He didn't reach his goal, but will be back for next year's inaugural Enhanced Games. I want my name up there in lights come race day. The controversial privately funded Games won't drug test athletes, instead encourages performance enhancing drugs. Who wants to be a human 1.0 when there are superhumans among us? There are huge cash incentives being offered to athletes who sign up. An undisclosed appearance fee plus prize money, close to $400,000 for first place. And if you can break a world record, a bonus of $1.6 million. This is a bit of a kick in the bum to any athlete who's ever worked their whole life. But for others... Price is right, baby.
