The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has reaffirmed its opposition to the Enhanced Games following an anti-trust lawsuit filed by organisers of the event which allows athletes to use banned drugs.

Enhanced Games said on Wednesday it was suing World Aquatics, USA Swimming and WADA for up to $800 million, alleging an illegal campaign to "crush" the event.

"WADA stands by the firm position it has taken against this ill-conceived event," the global anti-doping watchdog said in a statement.

"(It) welcomes the unequivocal support it has received from numerous athletes, governments of the world, UNESCO, international sporting federations, medical associations and others, who all see the Enhanced Games as a potential threat to athlete safety.
