Enhanced Games: Trump invests in 'doped Olympics'

The Enhanced Games, a drug inclusive alternative to the Olympics, has bagged Trump family funding as 1789 Capital leads a new funding round.

The venture fund is led by investment bank Farvahar Partners CEO Omeed Malik, vice president JD Vance ally Christopher Buskirk – they co-founded The Rockbridge Network together – and the 47th President’s son Donald Trump Jr.

The trio, under 1789 Capital, will co-lead an investment round for the Enhanced Games – known by many as the drug, steroid or doped Olympics – as it closes in on its inaugural competition.

The Enhanced Games was founded by London-based Australian lawyer Aron D’Souza, who previously told City AM there would be mega prizes for breaking standing world records.

The twist? The games will allow athletes to compete with nearly every legally available performance drug. The FT reports that the round would raise double digit millions of dollars.

Joe Biden’s administration last year criticised the Enhanced Games, while D’Souza says the events would be partly be funded by pharmaceutical and biotech advertising.
