Olympian Fred Kerley Doubles Down on Controversial Decision After Joining Enhanced Games

The athletics world is undergoing one of its most tumultuous times in recent memory. However, it seems like Fred Kerley is all up for the change. “Unless they start paying athletes properly, people will put themselves first,” said the 30-year-old about his decision to sign up for the Enhanced Games despite the IOC’s hard-and-fast regulations. And it looks like Kerley isn’t shy to show off every little act of defiance, either.
On September 18, the two-time Olympic medalist took to X to share how he’s committed to Australian businessman Aron D’Souza’s vision for a more inclusive track and field environment, at the expense of the sport’s apex body. Captioned, “Keep them coming,” the post shows the American holding a Bereg Kit, a container that athletes are supposed to send their urine samples in for drug testing. However, as a garbage bin can be seen in the background, it’s not hard to assume where Kerley’s Bereg Kit is ending up.
