Pretty much my initial thoughts without looking into it. Anybody who's competed at the top level globally can show up to a lower level competition and dominate, this is more of a reflection of how little legitimacy the enhanced games have that they're not attracting global level talent.

I'd also think it's because not a lot of top performers would very obviously put their lives and bodies at risk for a chance to win a gimmick Olympics.

The people performing at the top of their game are already destroying their bodies, why would they need to go further.
