Description

Doping is usually a taboo topic in the world of sport, but one new competition is bringing it right into the spotlight.

The Enhanced Games not only allow, but encourage athletes to take performance enhancing drugs to boost their performance.

They are set to take place next May in Las Vegas, with a number of high-profile athletes already set to compete, including one of Ireland's most celebrated swimmers, Shane Ryan.

Sport Ireland has expressed disappointment at his decision to take part, so with the games splitting opinions across the sporting world, what are your thoughts?

Managing Editor of Off the Ball Adrian Barry, Sport Editor with Tipp FM Paul Carroll and listeners join Andrea to discuss.
