On October 23, 2025, Mouhamadou Fall announced on social media his intention to participate in the Enhanced Games, which will take place in May 2026 in Las Vegas (USA). This athlete, currently suspended by the AFLD for two consecutive anti-doping rule violations, would be the first Frenchman to join this event organized outside the sports movement. French champion in the 100m and 200m several times between 2019 and 2023, he has not been licensed with the French Athletics Federation since 2023.

As a reminder, on June 10, 2025, in a joint press release, the High-Level Athletes' Commissions of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) firmly denounced the Enhanced games, as being contrary to sporting integrity. The Ministry of Sports, Youth and Community Life fully supports this position.

The promoters of this competition want to encourage athletes to break records by authorizing the use of doping. This initiative constitutes a negation of the spirit of sportsmanship and a serious threat to the health of participants, in addition to the harmful image it conveys of sporting performance. While the 20th century was marked by the fear of state doping, the 21st century could see the emergence of a new form of institutionalized doping, at the instigation of certain unscrupulous private promoters ready to sacrifice sporting integrity and health issues to organize an artificial spectacle. Faced with this danger, the MSJVA, the CNOSF, and the AFLD wish to reiterate that doping has nothing to do with sport. It constitutes a serious violation of sporting ethics and the fundamental values ​​of integrity, respect, and responsibility.

Faced with the danger posed by these "Augmented Games," French sports and anti-doping stakeholders are more determined than ever to combine their respective actions and areas of expertise. Cooperation between the MSJVA, the CNOSF, the AFLD, and the federations for doping-free sport is ongoing and is further intensifying in several areas: strengthening support for French delegations in major international competitions, developing anti-doping training and education within the sports movement, improving the governance of athlete representative bodies, and expanding the deployment of awareness-raising activities at regional level.

As part of its missions, the AFLD will ensure upstream control of Enhanced Games, on national territory or abroad, any French athlete who announces that they wish to participate. It will thus be able to sanction the use of prohibited substances, in particular those which would be useful in the implementation of a doping protocol for this event, without prejudice to other disciplinary or criminal sanctions which could be taken in this context.

Regarding the public announcement of Mr. Mouhamadou Fall, the AFLD reserves the right to integrate him into its target group soon and to carry out the necessary anti-doping controls.

The MSJVA, the CNOSF and the AFLD reaffirm their total determination to protect athletes, to guarantee the fairness of competitions and to maintain France at the highest international standards in the fight against doping.
