Drug-fuelled athletics group claims governing bodies are trying to ‘crush’ event in anti-trust lawsuit
Enhanced Games has launched an anti-trust lawsuit against World Aquatics, USA Swimming and the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) for up to US$800 million, alleging an illegal campaign to “crush” the event which allows athletes to use banned drugs.
The lawsuit, filed on Wednesday in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, accuses the defendants of violating the Sherman Act by pressuring athletes, coaches and support staff to boycott the Enhanced Games.
Enhanced Games is seeking more than US$200 million in damages – an amount it said could rise to more than US$800 million after trebling and punitive awards – and is also pursuing injunctive relief.
