Patrick Arnold, who has been described somewhat unfairly as the chemist behind the BALCO scandal, was profiled earlier this week in the Hartford Courant. Arnold attempts to minimize his role in the scandal, but does admit wrongdoing. Arnold says he was never interested in marketing to big-name professional athletes - that it was Victor Conte who pursued that angle - and I believe him. Arnold always struck me as a guy who was trying to figure out how to do steroids right, and was primarily interested in integrating his chemical discoveries into mainstream bodybuilding culture. Full disclosure: I was once active on some of the same message boards where Arnold posted his missives, and I did a cycle of the prohormone 1-AD back in 2000 (before it was illegal) after reading a summary of the compound written up by Arnold, who had developed and marketed it. I didn't make any muscle gains while taking 1-AD, but my energy levels went up. Surprisingly, the discomfort from a nagging, 15-year-old sports injury was reduced significantly and remains that way today. [Man Behind The Muscles - Hartford Courant] Related Items:
