Fred Kerley recently called out the hate he received for joining the Enhanced Games. Kerley became the first track and field athlete to join the Enhanced Games, which will be held in May 2026 at Resorts World in Las Vegas. The Games allow the participants to consume FDA-approved performance-enhancing substances under medical supervision. Kerley's decision to join the Games came after his withdrawal from the USATF Championships and the provisional ban. The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) imposed a provisional suspension on Kerley for "whereabouts failures" in August. The incident forced his absence from the World Athletics Championship in Tokyo, Japan, with a possibility of facing a two-year ban. After undergoing multiple setbacks, Kerley stepped up and decided to compete at the inaugural Enhanced Games. Days after making the announcement, Kerley sent a cryptic message on X (formerly Twitter), suggesting he hurt no one with his decision. "Who I let down? Nobody," Kerley wrote. Fred Kerley has navigated a tough season this year, with multiple setbacks coming his way. Before the 2025 Grand Slam Track in Miami, he was arrested for punching hurdler Alaysha Johnson in the face. He was also arrested on counts of battery and disorderly conduct for confronting police officers.
