American sprinter Fred Kerley finally broke silence over his decision to join the Enhanced Games. The Olympic medalist sprinter announced his decision to join the Games on Wednesday, days after being suspended by the Athletics Integrity Unit for failing to provide an explanation of his whereabouts for the drug testing. Kerley was interested in this project, and he claimed that this move would allow him to become the fastest human of all time. However, fans were divided over his decision to join the Enhanced Games, and some even criticized him for allegedly choosing money over ethics. Kerley finally responded to the criticism by posting his views on his X account [formerly Twitter]. The Olympic medalist sprinter mentioned that in the end it was only about protecting his spirit, his kids and family. Kerley wrote, "One day they gon look back and understand my choice it was never about chasing no approval it was about freedom about protecting my spirit my kids my family my future the crowd gon cheer and fade the people gon praise and forget but what I build what I guard what I sacrifice for that’s forever the only way to win is protect yourself and move with purpose."For the unversed, the Enhanced Games [where Fred Kerley is participating] is a unique sporting event, where the human ability would be tested, and science would be applied to monitor athletes' intake without punishing them for the supplements that are proscribed under the anti-doping provisions. In short, Enhanced Games is the event where there would be no drug testing for any participating athlete. However, according to some media reports, any athlete participating in the event risks being banned by the World Athletics, as confirmed by former Olympic champion and World Athletics president Sebastian Coe.

The Olympic medalist was suspended by the Athletics Integrity Unit of the USA Track & Field over his alleged failure on explaining his whereabouts, the apex body for the administration of athletics in USA. In a detailed statement shared on his social media, Kerley blamed the doping control officer for not making enough efforts to locate him. Kerley stated, "Fred Kerley has already notified the AIU that he intends to contest the allegation that he has violated the anti-doping rules related to whereabouts failures, as he strongly believes that one or more of his alleged missed tests should be set aside either because he was not negligent or because the Doping Control Officer did not do what was reasonable under the circumstances to locate him at his designated location."Fred Kerley last participated at the Rome leg of the Diamond League, where he stood fifth in the men's 100m overall. The sprinter also participated at the inaugural leg of the Grand Slam Track league in Kingston, where he finished on seventh position in men's 100m and on the third position in men's 200m respectively.
