“This now gives me the opportunity to dedicate all my energy to pushing my limits and becoming the fastest human to ever live,” Fred Kerley said a few months ago, when he decided to join the Enhanced Games. The reaction? Well, the track and field world just erupted. It invited all kinds of criticism, with an athlete who once represented the US in the biggest events now competing at an event that completely goes against a lot of the values and rules of World Athletics.

Now, the hype around the Enhanced Games has taken a major turn. On X, Track & Field Gazette reported that Olympic silver medalist Marvin Bracy-Williams, himself serving a severe 45-month doping ban, has followed Kerley’s path and has signed with the Enhanced Games.

The top two finishers from the 2022 Eugene World Championships 100m final have united in a controversial way. But what really happened with Bracy-Williams’ athletic career? He accepted a 45-month sanction from the USADA in 2025. The case, triggered by a whistleblower’s tip in early 2024, revealed a complex web of violations.

“It is critical that those in sport trust anti-doping authorities to have their back and to act on information to protect the integrity of sport and the rights of clean athletes as was done in this case,” said Travis T. Tygart, USADA CEO, after deciding to impose the doping ban on the athlete. Bracy-Williams initially tested positive for an anabolic agent, later identified as testosterone, and then attempted to tamper with the subsequent investigation.

However, during the investigation period, he committed further violations and acquired his third Whereabouts Failure within a 12-month period. Since the athlete cooperated with the USADA during the investigation, what could’ve been a multi-year ban was reduced to just 45 months. But the ban dismissed all of his results since June 1, 2023. Coming back to Kerley, the American sprinter has been the face of the Enhanced Games for a while now.

Fred Kerley is glad to be a part of the Enhanced Games

WADA strictly declared that the Enhanced Games are dangerous and an irresponsible concept. Furthermore, the athletes who will participate in this event will be further barred from entering into global athletics meets, like the World Championships and even the Olympic Games. But when a suspended Fred Kerley got to know about this, he was one of the first superstars to register his name in the event.

Following his participation, Kerley has never looked back on his decision. With many social media posts, he has promoted the event and also attracted other athletes to the mix. “Training’s been amazing. Mind clear, body strong. They tried to take the sport I gave my life to I turned it into a bigger opportunity. That’s called evolving,” the American sprinter once wrote on his X post, opening up about his mindset heading into the Enhanced Games.

His goal? “The World Record has always been the ultimate goal of my career. This now gives me the opportunity to dedicate all my energy to pushing my limits and becoming the fastest human to ever live.” Kerley said. The Enhanced Games that will take place on May 24, 2026, will feature a whopping $1 million bonus for the athletes who can break world records. So, this took the interest of the American track star, who has always chased that ambition.
