Hey Reddit, I'm Chris Gayomali... I'm a writer, former GQ editor, host of the SuperHuman podcast, and author of the newsletter HEAVIES. (I'm also the guy who wrote the story about guys getting leg-lengthening surgery in GQ.) For the past year I've been reporting on the Enhanced Games, which, depending on who you ask, is either the most fascinating or most unhinged experiment in sports history. I wrote about it for GQ and it's the topic of the podcast I host. On the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, elite athletes, some of them former Olympians, competed openly while taking PEDs. Three clean athletes won their respective events and one world record was broken. I've spent way too many hours talking to the athletes doing this, the doctors enabling it, the biotech executives championing Enhanced Games’s mission, and the people skeptical of its message. It's been... an interesting ride lol. Ask me anything: about the games, the athletes, the drugs, my work, what I ate for breakfast, or what this all means for the future of humanity. I'll be answering live on Thursday June 4, at 4 pm ET. (Sorry, my username is one of those auto-generated ones!
