Enhanced Games: James Magnussen’s $1 Million Plan to Break the 50 Free World Record

Olympic swimmer James Magnussen discusses his ambitious plan to break the 50m freestyle world record with the help of performance enhancements (testosterone/peptides/stem cells).

He was offered $1 million by the new Enhanced Games to break the record.

Maggie details his training approach, the types of enhancements he may use like anti-aging treatments, and his goals of achieving a sub-22 second time without a suit.

Brett provides analysis and believes Maggie has a real shot at success given his commitment level.

This interview provides fascinating insight into the new frontier of enhanced athletic competition.

They talk about…

• How James was approached by Enhanced Games with a $1 million offer to break the 50m freestyle world record by competing in their new sports league which uses performance enhancements.

• They discuss the potential backlash and concerns about doping allegations or being a role model, but James believes enhancements can be done safely under medical supervision.

• James plans to use FDA-approved substances, anti-aging treatments, and the same high-tech suit from 2009 to prepare for his world record attempt.

• Brett agrees James has a real chance of success given his commitment and the potential advantages from enhancements and equipment.

• They discuss James' training approach which will focus on strength, technique, and stacking high-quality workouts with the help of enhancements to speed recovery.

• Finding qualified coaches and access to facilities is challenging given James will be separate from sporting organizations.

• Both see the enhanced games as an exciting new concept that could push human limits and be highly entertaining for viewers.
