This weekend at the Enhanced Games, Thor Björnsson will go head-to-head with Canadian strongman Mitchell Hooper, in a world record attempt. And they'll both be juiced to their ears on performce enhancers.
Obviously, it's going to make for entertaining television. But what are the ethics of holding this kind of weightlifting competition? I get that on one hand, it levels the playing field and makes it harder for people to cheat.
On the other hand, it's hard not to wonder how this could affect impressionable weightlifters seeking that extra edge.
