The sprinter who has signed up for the 'Olympics on steroids' | ITV News

Former Team GB sprinter Reece Prescod has signed up to race at the controversial Enhanced Games.

The event this summer, labelled the “Olympics on steroids” by its many critics, will permit athletes to take performance enhancing drugs before they compete.

In an exclusive interview with ITV News, he explains why he has decided to sign up for the Enhanced Games.

His decision has already come under fire from UK Athletics chief executive Jack Buckner, who called his participation "appalling".
