Guyanese Olympian Jasmine Abrams has left the Athletics Association of Guyana to pursue a spot in the controversial Enhanced Games, which permits performance-enhancing substances.
Guyanese track and field star Jasmine Abrams has announced her departure from the Athletics Association of Guyana (AAG), confirming she intends to compete in the Enhanced Games — a controversial new competition that permits the use of performance-enhancing substances under medical supervision.
Abrams, who represented Guyana at the Olympic level, said the decision was driven by her desire to compete on a new platform and explore what she described as the next frontier in athletics. Her departure raises questions about the future of the national athletics programme and her eligibility for traditional international competitions governed by World Athletics.
The Enhanced Games has attracted significant debate globally since its announcement, with supporters arguing it creates a regulated alternative to underground doping and critics maintaining it undermines the integrity of sport. Source: Stabroek News, March 15 2026.
