We are at risk, once again, of wandring without thought to embrace a catchy concept that will make some people lots of money at the expense of the truth and Moral compass of sport. If you do not understand why the concept of the 'Enhanced games' is wrong think of two senarios. 1/2

On Friday 13th March 2020 I was Head of School of Chemistry in NUI Galway (as was). The previous day the Taoiseach announced the closure of Universities for teaching. On that Friday the School moved mountains so by Monday all our Lectures were online and we were back up an running. Crazy times
