Cheater League

 
Heard about the Enhanced Games?

It's a chance for cheaters to make money through sports - nothing new for some, right?
 
Disappointed - but not surprised - to see former Auburn head coach Brett Hawke involved.

Hawke's the head swim coach of Team Anything Goes (TAG).  He's also the host of a podcast:  Inside with Brett Hawke.
 
One of his former swimmers is Brazilian Cesar Cielo, current "official" world record-holder in the 50 LCM Freestyle.
 
Hawke's latest "star" is Kristian Gkolomeev (Greece) - who "broke" Cielo's "record" (:20.91) back in February (:20.89).
 
Helping with financial backing for the 2026 Enhanced Games in Las Vegas is a group known as 1789 Capital, led by Donald John Trump Jr.
 
As Hank Hill would say, that boy ain't right...
