Reece Prescod Comes Out of Retirement to Join Enhanced Games in Las Vegas

UK Athletics denounced the move, calling the unrecognised event a breach of anti-doping standards.

Overview

  • The 29-year-old former British 100m champion confirmed he will compete at the inaugural meet on 24 May at Resorts World in Las Vegas.
  • Event organisers say athletes may choose to enhance under sustained clinical supervision using substances legal in the United States.
  • Prescod said the programme offers top-tier medical care, strong training support, and a compensation model that made his return worthwhile.
  • UK Athletics chief executive Jack Buckner called the decision "appalling" and said UKA will not recognise the competition or its results.
  • The Enhanced Games is promoting significant payouts, including appearance fees, up to $250,000 per event, and a $1 million bonus for a 100m world record, and Prescod becomes the second British signee after Olympic swimmer Ben Proud.
