The Enhanced Games plans to hold its first annual competition in exactly one year.

Organizers say they hope to remove stigma of using PEDs, promote safer ways to push limits of human performance.

The company says it plans to make money by selling direct-to-consumer performance enhancers.

The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency calls Enhanced Games a "dangerous clown show that puts profit over principle".

Enhanced Games athletes will be allowed to take substances that are legal in the U.S. and prescribed by a licensed doctor.

Illicit drugs -- cocaine, for example, will not be allowed.

The company says it doesn't plan to do any drug tests for competitors.

The competition next May is scheduled to feature eight different events.
