Donald Trump Jr invests in sporting event that will allow steroids

Dr. Aron D'Souza founded the event in 2023, and the immediate backlash has been strong. He has been told his idea is unsafe, unfair and a mockery of the real Olympics.

However, Trump now joins billionaire Peter Thiel, the co-founder of PayPal, among the high-net-worth individuals to invest in the games.

"For over 100 years, elites in charge of global sports have stifled innovation, crushed individual greatness, and refused to let athletes push the limits of what's possible. That ends now," Trump Jr. said in a statement. "The Enhanced Games represent the future - real competition, real freedom, and real records being smashed. This is about excellence, innovation, and American dominance on the world stage - something the MAGA movement is all about. The Enhanced Games are going to be huge, and I couldn't be prouder to support this movement that is changing sports forever."

Added D'Souza, "With these powerhouse investors, we're building something revolutionary - sports without hypocrisy, where the best can actually be the best. Our investors see the future, and they're backing it with conviction."

Despite the criticism, D'Souza believes his event may be one of the safest in recent memory, as plenty of medical professionals will be on hand, and athletes will go through rigorous testing before they can compete.

"Ultimately, we have one shot to do this right, and if that has any health complications whatsoever, it would not only derail the company and movement we're creating, but also the social change that we're attempting to create here," D'Souza said in an interview with Fox News Digital last year. 

It remains to be seen when the events will take place.
