The inaugural 'Enhanced Games', took place on Sunday, in Las Vegas.

It was a multi-sport event that allowed athletes to use performance-enhancing substances without being subject to drug tests.

Given the reported rise in the use of Image and Performance Enhancing Drugs (IPEDs) across various regions in Wales, do you agree with such events or feel there isn't a place for it within the sporting arena?

If you are thinking about using IPEDs, or are currently doing so, we encourage you to be as informed as possible about such substances, to reduce any potential harms.
