If the Enhanced Games allow performance-enhancing drugs…what exactly can athletes take?
In this deep dive, Dr. Alex Tatem (board-certified urologist & men’s health specialist) breaks down the full list of substances allowed (and banned) in the Enhanced Games — from testosterone and anabolic steroids to EPO, insulin, stimulants, and beyond.
Because when people hear “Steroid Olympics,” they think testosterone and maybe Deca.
That’s not even close.
We’re talking:
Testosterone, Anavar, Winstrol, Anadrol
Growth hormone and IGF-1
EPO and blood oxygen enhancers
Insulin (yes, really)
Adderall, modafinil, and stimulants
Aromatase inhibitors, SERMs, hCG
And here’s the twist…
Some of the most popular performance-enhancing compounds in fitness — like trenbolone, BPC-157, and cardarine — are actually NOT allowed.
Why?
Because the Enhanced Games aren’t based on safety…They’re based on FDA approval.
This creates one of the most bizarre contradictions in sports:👉 Some of the most dangerous drugs are allowed👉 Some of the safest compounds are banned
