Enhanced Games Reality Check: Thor's Stack, FDA Restrictions, and the Supervised PED Debate
Phil Stevens opens with a proud update on his 11-year-old son's powerlifting progress before pivoting to the week's main topic: the Enhanced Games' newly released Thor stack supplement (NAD+, testosterone, Cialis). Phil notes the irony that Thor admitted to using testosterone, deca, and halotestalone at the games, while the supplement product conspicuously omits those compounds. The hosts debate whether the FDA-approved-only drug restriction undermines the games' core premise — Dr. Mike T. Nelson and Dr. Lonnie Lowery explore how international athletes may have had to compete under tighter restrictions than they'd face at home, and the group agrees a better model would involve full informed consent and supervised blood monitoring. They also reflect on how prosecution of steroids has dropped sharply under the current administration, the rapid normalization of TRT and peptides in the general population, and how the reefer madness-style hysteria around anabolics has given way to open conversation.
