Brilliant young Goan who is pushing drug enhanced sports revolution

 

Aron D'Souza, brilliant, successful lawyer 

plans drug enhanced sports revolution

A brilliant young Australian-born, London Kensington-based, Goan Lawyer, Aron D’Souza (Aldona, Melbourne) has been astonishing the world of sports, especially the Olympics, with his dream of performance drug enhanced (safely) sports men and women.

He told the BBC (radio) recently that the International Olympics Committee was allegedly corrupt. He pointed to the fact that athletes get a pittance (if at all) while the IOC officials lived the high life.

Aron D’Souza came to fame when h fought Hulk Hogan’s case and won the veteran athletes millions. D’Souza is backed by a solid team of international financiers in his Enhanced Games project.

According to the London Daily Mail: D'Souza is keen to have his say. He will point to his “disgust” at the “corrupt” International Olympic Committee, and his view that doping can be safe and will make sport and humanity better and fairer. His solution? He intends to launch the first Enhanced Games in December 2024. Audacious is one word; ridiculous and a potentially reckless act of attention-seeking is the consensus of those consulted by Mail Sport.

“In one version we fully defeat the Olympics and become the dominant international sports event,” D'Souza says. “Or there is natural and there is enhanced. You can watch the Enhanced Games with superheroes, or you can watch the old, natural Olympics with Greek gods. It is two different worlds.”

“Indeed. A choice between five iconic rings or the nine circles of what might reasonably be termed a sporting hell.”

According to the BBC: Ex-world champion James Magnussen says he will take banned drugs in an attempt to swim faster than a world record.

The Australian, 32, will come out of retirement to compete in the Enhanced Games, where doping is allowed.

Magnussen will try to swim faster than the 50m freestyle record, though it would not be official because there would be no drug-testing regime.

"I'll juice to the gills and I'll break it in six months," said Magnussen, who will be paid $1m (£792,000).

The men's 50m freestyle world record of 20.91 seconds was set by Brazilian Cesar Cielo in 2009, though he was wearing a performance-enhancing, non-textile swimsuit that was banned a few months later.

The Enhanced Games was founded by Australian businessman Aron D'Souza in 2023 and would not be subject to World Anti-Doping Agency rules.

Aron D’Souza is the President of the Enhanced Games. 

Previously, he led Peter Thiel’s litigation against Gawker Media involving the wrestler Hulk Hogan, which resulted in one of the largest invasion of privacy judgement in history, and is the subject of the book Conspiracy by best-selling author Ryan Holiday.

He is the founder of Sargon, a technology infrastructure company for the pensions and superannuation industry across the Asia-Pacific region. Sargon operates across Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong and has over A$52 billion under management and supervision, 200 employees and nine offices. He sold his stake in the company in 2018. Today, Sargon is owned by a consortium led by Vista Equity Partners.

Together with the Foundation for Young Australians, Aron founded the Nexus Australian Youth Summit, a branch of a global movement of young philanthropists and impact investors convened by the United Nations. The Prime Minister, the Hon. Kevin Rudd, commented, “The Nexus movement is recognised for its role in helping to build momentum towards a new way of interacting within communities that is socially focused and globally engaged.” In 2014, Men’s Style magazine recognised him as one of Australia’s most influential men.

In terms of scholarly output, Dr D’Souza is the foundation editor of The Journal Jurisprudence, a quarterly publication on legal philosophy. The Rt. Hon. Malcolm Fraser, former Prime Minister of Australia, commented in a foreword to a recent edition: “The Journal Jurisprudence has a high reputation as an effective and authoritative law journal.” Distinguished past contributors include the Hon. Justice Michael Kirby of the High Court of Australia, former Australian of the Year Stephen Keim, SC, and Judge Baltasar Garzón of the National Court of Spain.

Additionally, he is the author of three books: The Art of Time (2007), Special Protections: The Ethics of Copyright and Aboriginal Iconography (2009) and A General Theory of Property (2011). He edited a book on the impact of the Nuremberg war trials on international law. His writings have appeared in the editorial pages of numerous publications, including Men’s Health, the Times of London, the Herald Sun, the Australian Financial Review and the Gulf Times.

Aron is an avid athlete and a keen believer in the importance of sport. Whilst at Oxford, he played rugby for Wadham College, where he wore the number 14 jersey and is currently the team’s Honorary Chairman.
