NEW YORK :Olympic 100 metres silver and bronze medallist Fred Kerley will compete in the inaugural Enhanced Games, the competition said on Wednesday, weeks after the Athletics Integrity Unit slapped the American with a provisional suspension for whereabouts failures.

The 2022 100m world champion is the first track athlete and first American man to join the event that permits athletes to use performance-enhancing drugs that are banned in official competition.

"I'm looking forward to this new chapter and competing at the Enhanced Games," said Kerley.

"The world record has always been the ultimate goal of my career. This now gives me the opportunity to dedicate all my energy to pushing my limits and becoming the fastest human to ever live."
