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

10 person debate was ambitious for @rtenews.bsky.social. I can't say it works with the shouting and roaring across each other. Katie hannon did well but it's too many people. #GE2025
