At the behest of my astute legal counsel, here is a legal
disclaimer for this episode: First, I am not recommending,
endorsing, or supporting any of the substances or compounds
(especially illegal) discussed or described in the interview. I
am interviewing Patrick Arnold as a journalist seeking additional
information regarding matters of public interest and concern.
Second, I have removed some of the names of athletes who are
alleged to have used performance enhancing drugs. I recognize
that this seems excessive, but even if athletes have been
publicly banned for drug usage, unless the ban relates to the
specific substance and time period referenced in the podcast, I
can be sued for defamation for repeating or publicizing these
stories. With all that said, here we go... If you liked my
episode with Dom D'Agostino, you might love this one. Patrick
Arnold, widely considered “the father of prohormones," is an
organic chemist known for introducing androstenedione (remember
Mark McGwire?), 1-Androstenediol (marketed as “1-AD”), and
methylhexanamine into the dietary supplement market. He also
created the designer steroid tetrahydrogestrinone, best known as
THG and "the clear." THG, along with two other anabolic steroids
that Patrick manufactured (best known: norbolethone), were not
banned at the time of their creation. They were hard-to-detect
drugs at the heart of the BALCO professional sports doping
scandal, which thrust Barry Bonds and others into the spotlight.
BALCO distributed these worldwide to world-class athletes in a
wide variety of sports, ranging from track and field to
professional baseball and football. Recently, Patrick has been
innovating in the legal world of ketone supplementation,
including breakthroughs in performance and taste with products
like KetoForce and KetoCaNa, which were highlighted during
my podcast with Dominic D'Agostino, PhD. If you'd like to meet
the (in)famous Patrick Arnold in person, you can find him at The
Arnold Classic in Colombus, Ohio from March 3-6, 2016 at Booth
328. Otherwise, you can check out his current concoctions for
athletes here and here. In this science-dense conversation, we
cover a ton, mostly related to better performance through
chemistry. We also discuss Patrick's biggest successes and
mistakes, his path to science, ursolic acid and other clever
creations, exogenous ketone supplementation for sports, as well
as nonsense in the media about anabolics (e.g. current Delta-2
scandal). Show notes and links for this episode can be found at
