00:07:39,459 --> 00:07:40,660
do you know where
they're coming from?
174
00:07:40,727 --> 00:07:42,062
SOLDIER: It depends.
175
00:07:42,128 --> 00:07:43,063
MARIANA:
You don't wanna tell me?
176
00:07:43,129 --> 00:07:44,164
SOLDIER: Not at all.
177
00:07:44,230 --> 00:07:45,498
MARIANA: So the
anabolic's that you take,
178
00:07:45,565 --> 00:07:46,733
where are those coming,
where is it coming from?
179
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,568
MARIAH: Our source
asked not to be named.
180
00:07:48,635 --> 00:07:50,403
WOMAN: Um, I wouldn't say.
181
00:07:50,470 --> 00:07:52,339
MARIANA: You don't wanna say?
WOMAN: No.
182
00:07:52,405 --> 00:07:53,807
MARIANA: See, I've spoken to
several people here and nobody
183
00:07:53,873 --> 00:07:54,874
wants to tell me where from.
184
00:07:54,941 --> 00:07:55,842
Why is that?
185
00:07:55,909 --> 00:07:57,143
SOLDIER: Well,
I don't know you,
186
00:07:57,210 --> 00:07:59,446
and it's a small community,
and you're dealing with stuff
187
00:07:59,512 --> 00:08:02,549
that can potentially put
other people in jail.
188
00:08:02,949 --> 00:08:04,384
MARIANA: Okay.
189
00:08:04,451 --> 00:08:06,286
Can you just tell me
if they come from overseas
or they're domestic?
190
00:08:08,088 --> 00:08:09,656
MARIANA: Okay.
191
00:08:15,929 --> 00:08:17,464
Here's the thing,
192
00:08:17,530 --> 00:08:20,166
I don't really take
no for an answer.
193
00:08:21,901 --> 00:08:25,205
So, after a few off‐camera
conversations with Tony,
194
00:08:25,271 --> 00:08:28,641
he agrees to show me where
underground steroids come from.
195
00:08:29,943 --> 00:08:33,013
Yeah. This is where
he told us to meet him.
196
00:08:33,313 --> 00:08:37,617
Not where you'd think they'd
be doing steroids and human
197
00:08:37,684 --> 00:08:39,185
experiments, you know.
198
00:08:42,956 --> 00:08:45,458
I see this light over there.
199
00:08:47,293 --> 00:08:51,064
(engine approaches)
200
00:08:55,902 --> 00:08:58,138
Tony Huge, right here.
201
00:09:00,507 --> 00:09:02,175
So, you're, it's not,
is it here?
202
00:09:02,242 --> 00:09:03,943
TONY: No, it's not here.
203
00:09:04,010 --> 00:09:06,980
I'm gonna take you to it
because the experiments that
we do are kind of underground.
204
00:09:07,047 --> 00:09:09,249
You're not supposed to
experiment on humans and
205
00:09:09,315 --> 00:09:11,251
you're not supposed to be
making some of these compounds
206
00:09:11,317 --> 00:09:12,552
the way we do.
207
00:09:12,619 --> 00:09:14,854
And that's a lot of risk to
me and the people I work with.
208
00:09:23,863 --> 00:09:25,231
MAN: Yes. Yes.
209
00:09:25,298 --> 00:09:26,366
TONY: Thank you.
210
00:09:26,433 --> 00:09:27,767
MARIANA: When you mentioned
an underground lab,
211
00:09:27,834 --> 00:09:29,569
I definitely wasn't
expecting something, so.
212
00:09:29,636 --> 00:09:31,404
It looks, it looks
like a real lab.
213
00:09:32,072 --> 00:09:34,507
TONY: Well, it has to be clean
and it has to have all the
214
00:09:34,574 --> 00:09:36,242
tools that we need for
any given experiment.
215
00:09:37,010 --> 00:09:39,646
MARIANA: The DEA and FDA are
the federal agencies with
216
00:09:39,712 --> 00:09:41,314
oversight on steroid use.
217
00:09:42,682 --> 00:09:45,151
They often make news for
busting underground labs.
218
00:09:45,652 --> 00:09:47,153
ANCHOR (over TV): DEA
agents raided the facility.
219
00:09:47,220 --> 00:09:49,456
REPORTER (over TV): A
massive illegal drug operation.
220
00:09:49,522 --> 00:09:53,493
Homemade drugs are
especially dangerous to
anyone who uses them.
221
00:09:54,494 --> 00:09:56,296
MARIANA: Aren't you scared
they could come after you?
222
00:09:56,362 --> 00:09:58,098
TONY: Yeah,
everything, they did.
223
00:09:58,164 --> 00:09:59,399
They did.
224
00:09:59,466 --> 00:10:02,235
MARIANA: Tony is the
face of Enhanced Athlete,
225
00:10:02,302 --> 00:10:05,538
a supplement company that was
raided by the FDA in 2017.
226
00:10:07,207 --> 00:10:10,076
That same year, Enhanced Athlete
was accused in a civil
227
00:10:10,143 --> 00:10:13,913
lawsuit of selling products not
approved for human consumption.
228
00:10:14,714 --> 00:10:16,716
INTERROGATOR: You said you've
got a doctorate of laws?
229
00:10:16,783 --> 00:10:18,651
You don't, you don't really
think it allows you to call
230
00:10:18,718 --> 00:10:20,186
yourself a doctor, do you?
231
00:10:20,253 --> 00:10:21,955
TONY: Yes.
232
00:10:22,622 --> 00:10:24,924
I was under investigation
for many years and they were
233
00:10:24,991 --> 00:10:28,728
surveilling me and, and my
CEO ended up in, in jail.
234
00:10:29,395 --> 00:10:30,663
ANCHOR: This is New Tonight.
235
00:10:30,730 --> 00:10:32,932
A Sacramento man was sentenced
to three years in prison today
236
00:10:32,999 --> 00:10:36,169
for selling fertilizer
disguised as fat‐burning pills.
237
00:10:36,870 --> 00:10:38,171
MARIANA: And you guys
were making that here?
238
00:10:38,238 --> 00:10:40,540
TONY: That's what Scott
was prosecuted for.
239
00:10:40,607 --> 00:10:41,541
MARIANA: Why are
you still here?
240
00:10:41,608 --> 00:10:42,709
And why's he in prison?
241
00:10:42,775 --> 00:10:44,310
TONY: Because I never made
money from any of this.
242
00:10:44,377 --> 00:10:45,678
I was a lawyer.
243
00:10:45,745 --> 00:10:47,046
I sold my law firm and
I took that money and I
244
00:10:47,113 --> 00:10:49,415
invested it into research.
245
00:10:49,816 --> 00:10:51,551
MARIANA: Tony
claims that for him,
246
00:10:51,618 --> 00:10:54,554
developing new drugs is
merely a passion project,
247
00:10:55,155 --> 00:10:56,990
albeit, a risky one.
248
00:10:57,056 --> 00:10:58,758
So why do you let
us film in here?
249
00:10:58,825 --> 00:10:59,959
Why do you let us come here?
250
00:11:00,026 --> 00:11:02,061
TONY: Because there's,
there's a risk versus benefit.
251
00:11:02,128 --> 00:11:03,396
This is my passion.
252
00:11:03,463 --> 00:11:06,399
I retired from law to further
the chemistry of bodybuilding.
253
00:11:06,466 --> 00:11:09,369
Instead of just using
medicine to make us average,
254
00:11:09,435 --> 00:11:11,704
we can use medicine to
continue to enhance us,
255
00:11:11,771 --> 00:11:14,140
to make us evolve.
256
00:11:14,374 --> 00:11:16,276
MARIANA: And who make, do you
actually make all of this or
257
00:11:16,342 --> 00:11:17,243
who makes this?
258
00:11:17,310 --> 00:11:19,179
TONY: Coach Trevor
is our lead chemist.
259
00:11:19,245 --> 00:11:20,980
Hey, Coach Trevor!
260
00:11:21,648 --> 00:11:23,516
MARIANA: Coach Trevor
is Tony's secret weapon.
261
00:11:23,583 --> 00:11:24,817
Hi.
262
00:11:24,884 --> 00:11:26,452
TREVOR: Hey. How's it going?
MARIANA: How are you?
263
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:27,420
I'm Mariana.
264
00:11:27,487 --> 00:11:28,721
TREVOR: Trevor.
Nice to meet you.
265
00:11:28,788 --> 00:11:30,056
MARIANA: Nice to meet you.
266
00:11:30,123 --> 00:11:32,325
The two are incredibly close,
with an almost brotherly bond.
267
00:11:32,625 --> 00:11:33,893
This is your lab?
268
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,695
TREVOR: This is it.
This is ground zero.
269
00:11:36,262 --> 00:11:38,398
MARIANA: And they have a
shared passion for creating new
270
00:11:38,464 --> 00:11:40,033
performance‐enhancing drugs.
271
00:11:40,633 --> 00:11:42,468
TONY: Coach Trevor and I
have gone over the protocol.
272
00:11:42,535 --> 00:11:44,804
What I'm gonna start with
is 50 milligrams per day.
273
00:11:45,371 --> 00:11:46,973
MARIANA: Tony was saying
that you're the main chemist.
274
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,675
TREVOR: I think
they call it chef.
275
00:11:48,741 --> 00:11:51,311
MARIANA: Sort of
Breaking Bad kind of a thing?
276
00:11:51,544 --> 00:11:53,513
TREVOR: No, meth, no.
277
00:11:53,580 --> 00:11:56,216
MARIANA: Trevor
is obsessed with the
chemistry behind steroids.
278
00:11:57,150 --> 00:11:59,552
He even has the chemical
structure for testosterone
279
00:11:59,619 --> 00:12:01,387
tattooed on his hand.
280
00:12:01,988 --> 00:12:03,456
TREVOR: This is my
favorite hormone.
281
00:12:03,523 --> 00:12:04,824
First one I ever made.
282
00:12:04,891 --> 00:12:06,092
MARIANA: The first
one you made in a lab?
283
00:12:06,159 --> 00:12:07,327
TREVOR: Uh‐hmm.
284
00:12:07,393 --> 00:12:09,963
MARIANA: Trevor says he's
permanently mutated his body
285
00:12:10,029 --> 00:12:11,998
through years of
experimental steroid use.
286
00:12:12,732 --> 00:12:15,335
TONY: So Trevor's arms
are just around 21 inches.
287
00:12:15,401 --> 00:12:17,170
Mine are around 19 inches.
288
00:12:17,237 --> 00:12:20,006
MARIANA: And mine are
around, half an inch.
289
00:12:21,241 --> 00:12:23,209
Despite the imposing exterior,
290
00:12:23,276 --> 00:12:25,912
Trevor sees himself as
a science nerd at heart.
291
00:12:27,013 --> 00:12:29,048
If you wanted to, what drugs
can you make right now?
292
00:12:29,515 --> 00:12:31,951
TREVOR: Actually,
it'd be easier to
name what I couldn't make.
293
00:12:32,018 --> 00:12:32,919
MARIANA:
Could you make cocaine?
294
00:12:32,986 --> 00:12:33,953
TREVOR: Yeah.
295
00:12:34,020 --> 00:12:34,854
MARIANA: Can you make heroin?
296
00:12:34,921 --> 00:12:36,256
TREVOR: Yeah. Very simple.
297
00:12:36,322 --> 00:12:37,490
MARIANA: Do you know
how to make fentanyl?
298
00:12:37,557 --> 00:12:39,525
TREVOR: Yeah. That's, yeah.
299
00:12:39,592 --> 00:12:40,627
MARIANA: Do you
know how to make meth?
300
00:12:40,693 --> 00:12:41,694
TREVOR: Yes.
301
00:12:41,761 --> 00:12:43,229
MARIANA: If you can make
any drug in the world,
302
00:12:43,296 --> 00:12:44,998
why are you making anabolic's?
303
00:12:45,064 --> 00:12:48,568
TREVOR: Because I could
sell steroids to a lawyer.
304
00:12:48,635 --> 00:12:50,737
He's happy and it
improves his life.
305
00:12:50,803 --> 00:12:53,206
If it's not
hurting you, why not?
306
00:12:53,706 --> 00:12:55,341
MARIANA: Is what
you're doing dangerous?
307
00:12:55,408 --> 00:12:56,576
TREVOR: Yeah, yeah...
308
00:13:00,179 --> 00:13:02,815
TONY: Sometimes, really
bad things do happen.
309
00:13:02,882 --> 00:13:06,486
And, and afterwards,
we sometimes say we're never
310
00:13:06,552 --> 00:13:08,321
gonna do another experiment.
311
00:13:08,388 --> 00:13:10,123
MARIANA: In a
recent experiment,
312
00:13:10,189 --> 00:13:13,326
Tony says he overdosed on
a banned dietary supplement,
313
00:13:13,393 --> 00:13:15,528
and he then vomited
for two days straight.
314
00:13:16,596 --> 00:13:19,132
TONY: But we are addicted
to the science and pioneering,
315
00:13:19,198 --> 00:13:21,567
and we do, we do continue
experimenting even after
316
00:13:21,634 --> 00:13:23,169
bad things happen.
317
00:13:23,236 --> 00:13:24,971
MARIANA: The raw chemicals
that you use here,
318
00:13:25,038 --> 00:13:26,372
where did those come from?
319
00:13:26,439 --> 00:13:28,741
TREVOR: Almost everything
comes from China now.
320
00:13:29,242 --> 00:13:31,010
MARIANA: Because these
chemicals are often on the
321
00:13:31,077 --> 00:13:33,713
DEA's list of
banned substances,
322
00:13:33,780 --> 00:13:36,516
companies in China have
found inventive ways to
323
00:13:36,582 --> 00:13:38,284
sneak them past customs.
324
00:13:38,751 --> 00:13:40,219
TREVOR: Here's one.
325
00:13:40,286 --> 00:13:41,754
MARIANA: Disguised as food.
326
00:13:41,821 --> 00:13:43,222
TREVOR: Yeah.
It looks like flour, right?
327
00:13:43,289 --> 00:13:45,358
MARIANA: And so a lot of
it is actually coming out.
328
00:13:45,425 --> 00:13:47,093
So it's not dangerous that
it's all over my hands, is it?
329
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:48,494
No?
330
00:13:48,561 --> 00:13:49,829
TREVOR: Yeah, actually...
331
00:13:49,896 --> 00:13:52,265
No, it's not.
Nah, I don't wanna bust..
332
00:13:58,438 --> 00:14:01,040
MARIANA: Today, Trevor and
Tony are developing a new,
333
00:14:01,107 --> 00:14:04,010
injectable version of a
drug called "ASARM"
334
00:14:04,944 --> 00:14:07,013
TONY: A Selective Androgen
Receptor Modulator.
335
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,881
So, potentially the
future of steroids,
336
00:14:08,948 --> 00:14:10,983
all the benefits without
the side effects.
337
00:14:12,819 --> 00:14:14,253
MARIANA: And this is illegal?
338
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,291
TONY: This is illegal to
sell to a human as a supplement.
339
00:14:19,025 --> 00:14:20,293
It is legal to possess.
340
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,095
It is legal to use.
341
00:14:22,161 --> 00:14:24,297
MARIANA: People are using the
stuff that you guys are making
342
00:14:24,364 --> 00:14:25,965
here in this lab....
are using this.
343
00:14:26,032 --> 00:14:28,835
TONY: Yes, they are
using these formulas by,
344
00:14:28,901 --> 00:14:32,138
by facilities we have,
are teaching how to make
345
00:14:32,205 --> 00:14:35,208
these things underground.
346
00:14:37,210 --> 00:14:40,313
MARIANA: That was a very
around the way answer.
347
00:14:40,580 --> 00:14:42,682
TONY: I was a lawyer.
I was a lawyer before.
348
00:14:42,749 --> 00:14:44,484
MARIANA: The stuff
that is made here,
349
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:48,321
does it end up
inside people's bodies
around the country?
350
00:14:50,690 --> 00:14:53,059
TONY: That's what
I don't wanna answer.
351
00:14:53,126 --> 00:14:54,594
MARIANA: Because that
can get you in trouble?
352
00:14:54,660 --> 00:14:55,862
TONY: Right.
353
00:14:56,295 --> 00:14:57,897
I plead The Fifth.
I plead The Fifth.
354
00:14:57,964 --> 00:14:59,699
I plead The Fifth.
355
00:15:00,900 --> 00:15:02,769
MARIANA: No matter
what Tony might say;
356
00:15:02,835 --> 00:15:04,837
there's a black market
for these types of drugs.
357
00:15:06,406 --> 00:15:08,241
And demand is high.
358
00:15:08,841 --> 00:15:10,376
Is this some of the stuff
you're delivering today?
359
00:15:12,044 --> 00:15:14,247
MARIANA: I mean, so it's
basically, it's a drug deal?
360
00:15:15,348 --> 00:15:17,417
DAVID: Check this stuff.
BUYER: All right.
361
00:15:29,429 --> 00:15:33,266
♪ ♪
362
00:15:33,833 --> 00:15:35,701
MARIANA: How long have you
been selling steroids for?
363
00:15:39,338 --> 00:15:42,442
MARIANA: A few days later,
I find myself on a ride‐along
364
00:15:42,508 --> 00:15:45,077
with one of Sacramento's
busiest steroid dealers.
365
00:15:45,778 --> 00:15:48,281
Are most of your
buyers bodybuilders?
366
00:15:52,251 --> 00:15:53,986
MARIANA: I'll be
calling him David.
367
00:15:54,053 --> 00:15:55,521
Is part of the reason
you sell it is so that you
368
00:15:55,588 --> 00:15:56,923
can take them as well?
369
00:15:56,989 --> 00:15:58,191
So you can afford your own?
370
00:16:02,094 --> 00:16:05,264
MARIANA: Oh, wow.
So testosterone. Trenbolone.
371
00:16:08,301 --> 00:16:09,602
MARIANA: If David were caught,
372
00:16:09,669 --> 00:16:11,904
he could face five
years in prison.
373
00:16:11,971 --> 00:16:14,941
The maximum punishment
for selling steroids
without a prescription.
374
00:16:18,444 --> 00:16:19,579
BUYER: Yeah.
375
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,516
MARIANA: David has agreed to
wear a wireless microphone,
376
00:16:23,583 --> 00:16:25,818
so I can monitor this
deal from a nearby car.
377
00:16:26,752 --> 00:16:28,654
DAVID: How's everything?
BUYER: Oh, great, doing good.
378
00:16:43,436 --> 00:16:45,571
DAVID: Yup.
BUYER: Here.
379
00:16:45,638 --> 00:16:47,173
DAVID: Five a joule.
BUYER: Right on. Yeah.
380
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,475
MARIANA: They just did
this right in the open.
381
00:16:49,542 --> 00:16:52,044
Even the money was
exchanged out in the open.
382
00:16:52,111 --> 00:16:53,846
BUYER: Right on. Thanks.
DAVID: Have a good day.
383
00:16:53,913 --> 00:16:56,148
BUYER: I'll talk to you later.
DAVID: Yes, sir.
384
00:16:56,616 --> 00:16:59,685
MARIANA: David also allows us
to secretly film a deal he has
385
00:16:59,752 --> 00:17:01,354
arranged at a local gym.
386
00:17:04,457 --> 00:17:07,360
MARIANA: David tells me that a
steroid regimen can cost users
387
00:17:07,426 --> 00:17:10,496
between a couple hundred and
a thousand dollars a month.
388
00:17:11,497 --> 00:17:12,765
DAVID: All right, bro.
I'll see you, man.
389
00:17:12,832 --> 00:17:14,700
MAN: All right, man.
I appreciate it.
390
00:17:14,767 --> 00:17:16,602
DAVID: Yes, sir.
391
00:17:16,669 --> 00:17:18,804
MARIANA: So all of
this is illegal though.
392
00:17:18,871 --> 00:17:20,039
What you're doing,
selling this.
393
00:17:21,641 --> 00:17:23,342
MARIANA: This is
totally illegal?
394
00:17:30,483 --> 00:17:32,151
MARIANA: Do people buying
steroids ever ask you about
395
00:17:32,218 --> 00:17:34,520
any side effects or any of
the dangerous side of it?
396
00:17:38,157 --> 00:17:39,859
MARIANA: "What can I
get to look like that?"
397
00:17:50,436 --> 00:17:52,271
MARIANA: The demand for
performance‐enhancing drugs
398
00:17:52,338 --> 00:17:54,540
stretches from coast to coast,
399
00:17:55,374 --> 00:17:58,010
and users are quick
to sing their praises.
400
00:17:58,077 --> 00:17:59,145
ZAC: I just love it.
401
00:17:59,211 --> 00:18:00,346
It's like getting
dressed in the morning.
402
00:18:00,413 --> 00:18:01,647
What am I gonna do today?
403
00:18:01,714 --> 00:18:05,484
I'm so interested in my body's
physical ability to change,
404
00:18:05,551 --> 00:18:06,686
especially so rapidly.
405
00:18:06,752 --> 00:18:08,621
My body's my art.
406
00:18:08,688 --> 00:18:11,591
I'm not happy with
my masterpiece yet.
407
00:18:11,891 --> 00:18:13,960
MARIANA: Zac used to inject
the types of traditional
408
00:18:14,026 --> 00:18:16,562
steroids I saw David
selling in Sacramento,
409
00:18:17,730 --> 00:18:19,932
but then he met
Tony Huge online.
410
00:18:20,266 --> 00:18:21,968
ZAC: We just, we chitchatted
back and forth about
411
00:18:22,034 --> 00:18:23,803
what I was doing, and
he sent me a care package.
412
00:18:23,869 --> 00:18:25,171
MARIANA: Of what?
413
00:18:25,237 --> 00:18:27,039
ZAC: And he was, like,
of SARMs and supplements
from his company.
414
00:18:27,106 --> 00:18:28,007
All of that stuff.
415
00:18:28,074 --> 00:18:29,642
It was like $700 when
I checked it out.
416
00:18:29,709 --> 00:18:31,110
Now he seemed like
this, you know,
417
00:18:31,177 --> 00:18:32,545
hot celebrity kind of guy.
418
00:18:32,612 --> 00:18:34,647
I couldn't believe that,
like, me of all people,
419
00:18:34,714 --> 00:18:36,949
he just sent it out to.
420
00:18:37,416 --> 00:18:39,719
MARIANA: The two have remained
friends and Zac has sought out
421
00:18:39,785 --> 00:18:42,822
Dr. Tony's help as he preps
for the Olympia Bodybuilding
422
00:18:42,888 --> 00:18:44,557
Competition in Las Vegas.
423
00:18:50,296 --> 00:18:53,032
Armed with Tony's
new experimental drug,
424
00:18:53,099 --> 00:18:57,236
Zac is on an extreme diet and
working out five hours a day.
425
00:18:58,270 --> 00:19:01,140
But he still has a lot of fat
to lose and muscle to add.
426
00:19:01,974 --> 00:19:03,676
ZAC: Hey babe, can
you grab that mirror?
427
00:19:03,743 --> 00:19:05,645
MARIANA: And he's
running out of time.
428
00:19:06,212 --> 00:19:08,180
ZAC: Tony just sent me
some pretty awesome stuff.
429
00:19:08,247 --> 00:19:09,949
You know the SARMs
I've been running?
430
00:19:10,016 --> 00:19:11,183
WOMAN: Uh‐hmm.
431
00:19:11,250 --> 00:19:12,752
ZAC: He sent me the
injectable version,
432
00:19:12,818 --> 00:19:15,154
so I need you to put
this in my shoulder.
433
00:19:15,221 --> 00:19:16,255
WOMAN: Okay.
434
00:19:16,322 --> 00:19:17,490
ZAC: Okay.
435
00:19:17,556 --> 00:19:19,558
MARIANA: Zac's girlfriend is
generally supportive of him
436
00:19:19,625 --> 00:19:21,027
using anabolic drugs.
437
00:19:21,093 --> 00:19:22,895
WOMAN: Okay.
ZAC: Cheers.
438
00:19:22,962 --> 00:19:27,233
Fast. There you go.
Push deep into the muscle.
439
00:19:27,299 --> 00:19:29,235
Ow. Ow.
440
00:19:30,102 --> 00:19:33,239
MARIANA: Zac's mom
on the other hand is
decidedly not on board.
441
00:19:33,773 --> 00:19:36,475
MOM: I mean, I know it's naive
to think that most athletes,
442
00:19:36,542 --> 00:19:38,944
professional athletes,
aren't doing drugs.
443
00:19:39,011 --> 00:19:41,747
But it's kind of a known
thing in bodybuilding.
444
00:19:41,814 --> 00:19:44,316
And that, it's terrifying.
445
00:19:44,917 --> 00:19:46,419
ZAC: She was like,
"Why compete in a sport that
446
00:19:46,485 --> 00:19:47,853
relies on drugs to win?"
447
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,955
And she has a point.
448
00:19:50,022 --> 00:19:52,591
MARIANA: Do you think he'll
do well in this competition?
449
00:19:52,658 --> 00:19:54,760
MOM: I don't know if you
can win without doing drugs,
450
00:19:54,827 --> 00:19:57,363
so I'm okay if he doesn't win.
451
00:19:57,430 --> 00:19:58,597
I'm...
452
00:19:58,664 --> 00:20:00,032
MARIANA: You prefer
that he doesn't do drugs?
453
00:20:00,099 --> 00:20:02,535
MOM: I would prefer that.
454
00:20:06,939 --> 00:20:09,542
MARIANA: There isn't a lot of
research done on SARMs yet and
455
00:20:09,608 --> 00:20:10,643
what effects it can have.
456
00:20:10,710 --> 00:20:11,877
Does that worry you?
457
00:20:11,944 --> 00:20:13,245
ZAC: That's true.
458
00:20:13,312 --> 00:20:17,583
But, I mean, it's just me
taking a risk and putting a
459
00:20:17,650 --> 00:20:20,352
leg out there and
seeing what happens.
460
00:20:30,663 --> 00:20:32,298
JEFF: Back then,
I felt like a loser.
461
00:20:32,364 --> 00:20:35,067
I felt like a zero,
felt like a nobody.
462
00:20:35,367 --> 00:20:37,737
And I found this thing,
the sport that could give me
463
00:20:37,803 --> 00:20:40,172
respect immediately
for nothing.
464
00:20:40,606 --> 00:20:42,475
You know, almost
unearned, you know,
465
00:20:42,541 --> 00:20:44,610
you get big in the gym
and people were afraid of
466
00:20:44,677 --> 00:20:47,046
me or respected me.
467
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,616
MARIANA: Like Zac, Jeff
started bodybuilding and using
468
00:20:50,683 --> 00:20:52,885
steroids when
he was in his 20s.
469
00:20:54,019 --> 00:20:57,123
But a decade later, he was
diagnosed with heart failure.
470
00:20:57,990 --> 00:21:00,459
JEFF: The heart thing, that's
what everyone's risking.
471
00:21:00,526 --> 00:21:02,695
And it's just when, when's
your number gonna get called?
472
00:21:02,762 --> 00:21:05,364
Like that's how
bodybuilders die.
473
00:21:08,167 --> 00:21:10,302
I was weak, like, weaker
than I'd ever been.
474
00:21:11,237 --> 00:21:13,606
And there was something
obviously wrong.
475
00:21:13,672 --> 00:21:16,175
When they use that word
"heart failure", it's like,
476
00:21:16,242 --> 00:21:18,177
yeah, that hit me
like a ton of bricks.
477
00:21:18,244 --> 00:21:20,412
And I got a kid right now,
I've got a family, like,
478
00:21:20,479 --> 00:21:22,114
"Yo, this isn't cool."
479
00:21:22,181 --> 00:21:23,549
ABBY: Now that we have a baby,
480
00:21:23,616 --> 00:21:25,684
it was putting
a lot of strain on us.
481
00:21:25,751 --> 00:21:28,921
JEFF: Many, many people I
admire were doing steroids.
482
00:21:28,988 --> 00:21:29,989
MARIANA: Uh‐hmm.
483
00:21:30,055 --> 00:21:31,290
JEFF: And they
weren't dropping dead.
484
00:21:31,357 --> 00:21:32,892
My hero's
Arnold Schwarzenegger,
485
00:21:32,958 --> 00:21:35,194
they're alive,
they're still alive.
486
00:21:35,261 --> 00:21:38,264
They were big steroid users.
487
00:21:38,798 --> 00:21:41,200
MARIANA: Ironically, doctors
only discovered Jeff's heart
488
00:21:41,267 --> 00:21:45,037
problems when he was
sent to the hospital for a
different medical emergency,
489
00:21:46,105 --> 00:21:48,240
also caused by steroids.
490
00:21:48,941 --> 00:21:51,377
JEFF: Like my butt
was so big, that, like,
491
00:21:51,443 --> 00:21:53,646
I had elastic
basketball shorts,
492
00:21:53,712 --> 00:21:56,215
and I couldn't pull
them up over my butt.
493
00:21:56,282 --> 00:21:57,149
It was...
494
00:21:57,216 --> 00:21:58,517
MARIANA: Because
it was too big?
495
00:21:58,584 --> 00:22:00,386
JEFF: Yeah. It was, like,
I don't know if you can
tell, like.
496
00:22:00,452 --> 00:22:02,087
MARIANA: I can
definitely tell.
497
00:22:02,154 --> 00:22:03,522
JEFF: You know.
498
00:22:03,589 --> 00:22:05,357
MARIANA: After injecting a
batch of underground steroids,
499
00:22:05,424 --> 00:22:07,560
Jeff got an infection
so malicious,
500
00:22:07,626 --> 00:22:10,863
that doctors had to amputate
parts of his butt and legs
501
00:22:11,597 --> 00:22:13,632
just to keep him alive.
502
00:22:13,999 --> 00:22:15,100
JEFF: The lady was like,
503
00:22:15,167 --> 00:22:17,403
"Holy (bleep), we gotta
operate on you right now."
504
00:22:17,469 --> 00:22:19,205
You know, there were
seven surgeries to get the
505
00:22:19,271 --> 00:22:21,006
infection under control.
506
00:22:21,073 --> 00:22:23,676
And then there were five
surgeries to clean it.
507
00:22:23,742 --> 00:22:26,612
So there was 11
surgeries in 24 days.
508
00:22:26,679 --> 00:22:27,713
MARIANA: Eleven surgeries?
509
00:22:27,780 --> 00:22:29,215
JEFF: Eleven.
510
00:22:29,281 --> 00:22:31,417
MARIANA: It was only then
that Jeff began to rethink his
511
00:22:31,483 --> 00:22:32,952
long‐time steroid use.
512
00:22:35,421 --> 00:22:38,390
Tomorrow, Jeff will get the
results from his cardiologist.
513
00:22:39,825 --> 00:22:41,861
JEFF: I'm hoping that,
you know, I'm gonna get
514
00:22:41,927 --> 00:22:43,796
some good, good news.
515
00:22:43,863 --> 00:22:44,897
MARIANA: Uh‐hmm.
516
00:22:44,964 --> 00:22:46,532
What would be the
worst‐case scenario?
517
00:22:46,599 --> 00:22:49,401
JEFF: Oh, it got worse, I
mean, wouldn't that be scary?
518
00:22:49,468 --> 00:22:51,604
ABBY: I'm hopeful that it
will be a positive move in the
519
00:22:51,670 --> 00:22:56,075
right direction but,
you know, I, in my gut,
520
00:22:56,141 --> 00:22:58,210
I don't think this is
something that's just gonna go
521
00:22:58,277 --> 00:23:00,312
away overnight,
or in a few months.
522
00:23:01,714 --> 00:23:04,316
MARIANA: Jeff is about to find
out how a decade of steroid
523
00:23:04,383 --> 00:23:08,187
use will impact his
long‐term chance of survival.
524
00:23:16,395 --> 00:23:22,701
♪ ♪
525
00:23:25,804 --> 00:23:28,140
JEFF: I think some of the
damage I did is probably
526
00:23:28,207 --> 00:23:30,676
permanent as far as,
like, an enlarged heart.
527
00:23:30,743 --> 00:23:31,710
DOCTOR: Yeah.
528
00:23:31,777 --> 00:23:33,078
JEFF: I don't wanna go
back and body‐build.
529
00:23:33,145 --> 00:23:34,313
I'm not looking for that.
530
00:23:34,380 --> 00:23:36,382
I'm looking for, you know,
how long can I live, right?
531
00:23:36,448 --> 00:23:38,217
Like, I mean, if you
look around this office,
532
00:23:38,284 --> 00:23:39,251
who's here?
533
00:23:39,318 --> 00:23:40,686
It's old men.
534
00:23:40,753 --> 00:23:42,254
It's like, "Why am I here?"
535
00:23:42,321 --> 00:23:43,589
I'm freaking 37.
536
00:23:43,656 --> 00:23:45,190
Something's wrong, right?
537
00:23:45,257 --> 00:23:47,559
MARIANA: Jeff has been under
the care of a cardiologist for
538
00:23:47,626 --> 00:23:50,863
the past year, ever since
doctors treating his steroid
539
00:23:50,930 --> 00:23:54,233
infection also discovered
signs of heart failure.
540
00:23:55,434 --> 00:23:57,770
So, doctor,
because Jeff took
testosterone for so many years.
541
00:23:57,836 --> 00:23:58,971
DOCTOR: Right. Right.
542
00:23:59,038 --> 00:24:00,539
MARIANA: Now his body
doesn't produce it naturally
543
00:24:00,606 --> 00:24:02,041
and he actually has to take
testosterone to stay healthy.
544
00:24:02,107 --> 00:24:03,242
DOCTOR: Right. Right.
545
00:24:03,309 --> 00:24:05,778
This is the unfortunate
irony for guys that are
546
00:24:05,844 --> 00:24:08,614
looking to become
superhuman, per se.
547
00:24:08,681 --> 00:24:10,649
You know, they end up
in a point where, again,
548
00:24:10,716 --> 00:24:12,584
they obliterate
their body's own ability
549
00:24:12,651 --> 00:24:14,954
to produce testosterone.
550
00:24:15,020 --> 00:24:17,589
MARIANA: Today, Jeff will be
getting the results to see if
551
00:24:17,656 --> 00:24:20,326
his heart has bounced
back to normal.
552
00:24:20,659 --> 00:24:22,261
DOCTOR: So there's, there's
two main things we're
553
00:24:22,328 --> 00:24:23,562
evaluating with that echo.
554
00:24:23,629 --> 00:24:25,431
One is your systolic function,
555
00:24:25,497 --> 00:24:26,732
which is the
squeezing function,
556
00:24:26,799 --> 00:24:28,600
and that was the one
that was mildly reduced last
557
00:24:28,667 --> 00:24:32,805
time you were here
that actually does not
look significantly different.
558
00:24:32,871 --> 00:24:34,373
JEFF: All right.
DOCTOR: Okay?
559
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:35,941
So it still looks a
little bit sluggish.
560
00:24:36,008 --> 00:24:37,176
JEFF: Yup.
561
00:24:37,242 --> 00:24:39,345
DOCTOR: But there's another
parameter that we look at,
562
00:24:39,411 --> 00:24:41,447
which is the relaxation
function of the heart.
563
00:24:41,513 --> 00:24:42,815
JEFF: Right.
564
00:24:42,881 --> 00:24:44,416
DOCTOR: And that
was also quite abnormal
last time you were here.
565
00:24:44,483 --> 00:24:46,251
That looks significantly better.
566
00:24:46,318 --> 00:24:47,653
JEFF: Okay.
DOCTOR: Okay.
567
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,922
Now we're not, we're not at
the point where I'd say your
568
00:24:49,989 --> 00:24:51,523
heart looks normal,
unfortunately.
569
00:24:51,590 --> 00:24:52,725
JEFF: Right.
570
00:24:52,791 --> 00:24:54,393
DOCTOR: I think you should
sort of get your mind around
571
00:24:54,460 --> 00:24:55,995
the fact that you're
probably gonna be
572
00:24:56,061 --> 00:24:58,664
on long‐term medication.
573
00:24:59,531 --> 00:25:01,667
I worry about
Jeff's longevity.
574
00:25:01,734 --> 00:25:04,636
His heart actually hasn't
bounced back to normal.
575
00:25:04,703 --> 00:25:05,637
MARIANA: Uh‐hmm.
576
00:25:05,704 --> 00:25:07,072
DOCTOR: And the
longer we see it,
577
00:25:07,139 --> 00:25:08,741
that sort of suggests
that something permanent
578
00:25:08,807 --> 00:25:09,908
has happened there.
579
00:25:09,975 --> 00:25:10,943
MARIANA: Uh‐hmm.
580
00:25:11,010 --> 00:25:12,478
And if he started
taking steroids again?
581
00:25:12,544 --> 00:25:14,513
DOCTOR: Not a good outlook.
582
00:25:15,014 --> 00:25:16,682
MARIANA: We've heard from a
lot of people that say that
583
00:25:16,749 --> 00:25:17,950
there is a safe
way of doing this.
584
00:25:18,017 --> 00:25:19,685
The people that
have gotten hurt,
585
00:25:19,752 --> 00:25:22,087
it's because they didn't
know what they were doing and
they were taking too much or...
586
00:25:22,154 --> 00:25:23,455
DOCTOR: Right.
587
00:25:23,522 --> 00:25:25,124
MARIANA: But there is actually
a safe way to do this they say.
588
00:25:25,190 --> 00:25:26,525
DOCTOR: Right.
MARIANA: What do you think?
589
00:25:26,592 --> 00:25:28,627
DOCTOR: I think those people
are kidding themselves.
590
00:25:28,694 --> 00:25:31,363
The best data that we
have are autopsy studies.
591
00:25:31,430 --> 00:25:33,866
That means someone died.
592
00:25:34,233 --> 00:25:36,035
Jeff, frankly, is lucky.
593
00:25:36,101 --> 00:25:39,104
There's lots and lots of case
reports of young guys having
594
00:25:39,171 --> 00:25:41,874
heart attacks and having
strokes, sudden death.
595
00:25:42,875 --> 00:25:46,011
So your first
symptom is dying.
596
00:25:49,815 --> 00:25:51,417
THOMAS: What do I
think of Tony Huge?
597
00:25:51,483 --> 00:25:56,422
A very dangerous guy, because
he's so seductive and his
598
00:25:57,056 --> 00:25:59,224
social media is so amazing.
599
00:25:59,291 --> 00:26:03,562
We have young men, boys,
13‐year‐old boys, 16, 18,
600
00:26:03,629 --> 00:26:07,299
25 that are buying it
hook, line, and sinker.
601
00:26:08,434 --> 00:26:11,437
MAN: He wants to actually
better the world.
602
00:26:12,137 --> 00:26:14,239
MARIANA: In your
average American suburb,
603
00:26:14,306 --> 00:26:17,409
I meet up with two of
Dr. Tony Huge's biggest fans.
604
00:26:18,110 --> 00:26:20,212
When did you guys
start taking steroids?
605
00:26:20,279 --> 00:26:21,580
MAN: Four weeks ago.
606
00:26:21,647 --> 00:26:22,714
MAN: Yeah, week four.
607
00:26:22,781 --> 00:26:23,782
MARIANA: And how
do you guys feel?
608
00:26:23,849 --> 00:26:26,418
MAN: Honestly,
it's, it's superhuman.
609
00:26:26,952 --> 00:26:28,387
MARIANA: The shocking thing?
610
00:26:28,454 --> 00:26:32,057
They're only teenagers,
which is why we aren't
showing their faces.
611
00:26:32,858 --> 00:26:35,727
MAN: Just taking this, just
the light dose that we are on,
612
00:26:35,794 --> 00:26:37,429
has just been crazy.
613
00:26:37,496 --> 00:26:39,131
MARIANA: Do your parents know
that you're taking steroids?
614
00:26:39,198 --> 00:26:40,566
MAN: No.
615
00:26:40,632 --> 00:26:42,701
MARIANA:
So do they see, have they
noticed a difference in you?
616
00:26:42,768 --> 00:26:43,936
MAN: Little bit.
617
00:26:44,002 --> 00:26:45,471
They're kind of
suspecting it now.
618
00:26:45,537 --> 00:26:48,340
MARIANA: And aren't you guys
afraid of all these dangers?
619
00:26:48,407 --> 00:26:52,044
MAN: There's too many
things like that,
620
00:26:52,111 --> 00:26:56,415
in life (bleep) worry about
a steroid or SARM giving you
621
00:26:56,482 --> 00:26:57,916
some small side effect.
622
00:26:57,983 --> 00:26:59,351
MAN: Yeah.
623
00:26:59,418 --> 00:27:01,286
MARIANA: I mean,
an enlarged heart
is not a small side effect.
624
00:27:01,353 --> 00:27:02,421
MAN: Well, of course.
625
00:27:02,488 --> 00:27:03,989
MARIANA: Heart failure
at an early age is not a
626
00:27:04,056 --> 00:27:05,057
small side effect.
627
00:27:05,124 --> 00:27:06,592
MAN: It's not a small
side effect, of course,
628
00:27:06,658 --> 00:27:09,328
but if you do the right thing,
especially learning from
629
00:27:09,394 --> 00:27:11,797
someone like Tony where
he literally lays everything
630
00:27:11,864 --> 00:27:13,365
out for you.
631
00:27:13,432 --> 00:27:14,867
He, he gives you
the training advice.
632
00:27:14,933 --> 00:27:15,934
MARIANA: Uh‐hmm.
633
00:27:16,001 --> 00:27:17,369
MAN: He gives you
the nutrition advice.
634
00:27:17,436 --> 00:27:20,439
And he also tells
you not to (bleep) do
it if you're not healthy.
635
00:27:20,506 --> 00:27:22,274
And I know there's that one
percent chance to, what,
636
00:27:22,341 --> 00:27:25,043
I take this first cycle, and
I'm not gonna bounce back for
637
00:27:25,110 --> 00:27:26,245
the rest of my life,
638
00:27:26,311 --> 00:27:28,313
I'm on testosterone
replacement.
639
00:27:28,380 --> 00:27:31,750
I understand that risk and
I'm willing to take it.
640
00:27:33,318 --> 00:27:34,753
THOMAS: Are you kidding me?
641
00:27:34,820 --> 00:27:38,023
It's 100% dangerous.
642
00:27:43,328 --> 00:27:45,931
MARIANA: As Tony Huge arrives
in Las Vegas for the start
of the
643
00:27:45,998 --> 00:27:48,467
Olympia Bodybuilding
Competition,
644
00:27:48,534 --> 00:27:50,702
I meet with
Dr. Thomas O'Connor,
645
00:27:50,769 --> 00:27:53,572
a physician who specializes
in steroid abuse.
646
00:27:53,639 --> 00:27:55,007
THOMAS: He's destroying lives.
647
00:27:55,073 --> 00:27:56,909
He looks like
he's a physician,
648
00:27:56,975 --> 00:27:58,477
and he calls himself a doctor.
649
00:27:58,544 --> 00:28:00,078
If they were medical
professionals,
650
00:28:00,145 --> 00:28:01,747
they'd be in jail.
651
00:28:01,813 --> 00:28:04,416
MARIANA: So Tony Huge
right now is creating this
652
00:28:04,483 --> 00:28:06,251
injectable SARM.
653
00:28:06,318 --> 00:28:07,419
He says it's like a steroid,
654
00:28:07,486 --> 00:28:08,620
but without
side effects, right?
655
00:28:08,687 --> 00:28:10,355
THOMAS: Okay. It's, he's wrong.
656
00:28:10,422 --> 00:28:11,890
It's not possible right now.
657
00:28:11,957 --> 00:28:14,560
Pharmaceutical companies
like to do what?
658
00:28:15,427 --> 00:28:16,595
Make money.
659
00:28:16,662 --> 00:28:18,330
MARIANA: So you're saying
that if it was possible to
660
00:28:18,397 --> 00:28:20,599
create a steroid without
the side effects that the
661
00:28:20,666 --> 00:28:21,767
pharmaceutical companies.
662
00:28:21,833 --> 00:28:23,168
THOMAS:
Billion‐dollar industry.
663
00:28:23,235 --> 00:28:24,303
MARIANA: Okay.
664
00:28:24,369 --> 00:28:25,604
And the fact that they're
not all over it right now,
665
00:28:25,671 --> 00:28:26,838
it's because.
666
00:28:26,905 --> 00:28:28,941
THOMAS: It's, that's it's
beyond the science of today.
667
00:28:29,708 --> 00:28:32,511
MARIANA: Recently, the FDA
released a statement saying
668
00:28:32,578 --> 00:28:36,181
that SARMs can increase the
risk of heart attack, stroke,
669
00:28:36,248 --> 00:28:37,783
and liver damage.
670
00:28:38,183 --> 00:28:40,419
The same side
effects of steroids.
671
00:28:41,153 --> 00:28:43,388
THOMAS: The patients
tell me that, "Hey, doc,
672
00:28:43,455 --> 00:28:46,291
I used to love Tony Huge, man,
because he represented just,
673
00:28:46,358 --> 00:28:49,061
like, freedom and
all this kind of stuff."
674
00:28:49,127 --> 00:28:52,164
TONY (over phone): You see me
in my bedroom with a hot girl.
675
00:28:52,231 --> 00:28:54,132
THOMAS: "And then I really
took some of the drugs he
676
00:28:54,199 --> 00:28:56,568
recommended and then I
ended up in the hospital,"
677
00:28:56,635 --> 00:28:58,370
or "My brother died" or
678
00:28:58,437 --> 00:29:00,872
"A friend of mine
is really suffering."
679
00:29:00,939 --> 00:29:04,076
You see the bodies
that are constructed.
680
00:29:04,409 --> 00:29:08,247
Being superhuman on steroids
is part of the game.
681
00:29:08,313 --> 00:29:10,816
It's part of the trip.
682
00:29:11,149 --> 00:29:14,319
But the reality is, you
can't be superhuman forever.
683
00:29:14,386 --> 00:29:17,256
And your heart doesn't
wanna be superhuman.
684
00:29:30,902 --> 00:29:33,038
MARIANA: When I first
see Zac in Las Vegas,
685
00:29:33,105 --> 00:29:35,641
it's hard to argue
with the results.
686
00:29:35,707 --> 00:29:38,243
His transformation
is jaw‐dropping.
687
00:29:45,083 --> 00:29:46,218
That's him before and after?
688
00:29:46,285 --> 00:29:47,619
ZAC: It, kind of, just
speaks for itself.
689
00:29:47,686 --> 00:29:48,754
It's just nine weeks, yeah.
690
00:29:48,820 --> 00:29:49,788
MAN: Yeah.
691
00:29:49,855 --> 00:29:51,256
MARIANA: Holy moly,
that is crazy.
692
00:29:51,323 --> 00:29:52,791
This is in just nine weeks?
Just three months?
693
00:29:52,858 --> 00:29:54,293
MAN: Correct.
694
00:29:54,359 --> 00:29:57,195
MARIANA: In just nine weeks,
Zac dropped his body fat from
695
00:29:57,262 --> 00:30:00,732
21% to 5%.
696
00:30:00,799 --> 00:30:03,902
He credits a dedicated
workout and diet routine.
697
00:30:04,303 --> 00:30:05,737
MAN: Two training
sessions a day.
698
00:30:05,804 --> 00:30:07,639
Zero carbs of course and...
699
00:30:07,706 --> 00:30:09,141
ZAC: I get, yeah, I've
been doing three hours
700
00:30:09,207 --> 00:30:10,275
of cardio every night.
701
00:30:10,342 --> 00:30:12,411
MARIANA: He also credits
the drugs that Dr. Tony
702
00:30:12,477 --> 00:30:15,814
recommended, including
the new injectable SARMs.
703
00:30:19,985 --> 00:30:22,020
But the work is not over.
704
00:30:22,988 --> 00:30:24,990
TONY: So the first thing
I'm gonna inject you with is
705
00:30:25,057 --> 00:30:27,626
RAD140, the injectable SARM.
706
00:30:27,693 --> 00:30:30,362
MARIANA: Zac has 24 hours
before the competition.
707
00:30:30,896 --> 00:30:33,899
He and Tony plan to make
the final hours count.
708
00:30:34,299 --> 00:30:37,836
TONY: I'm gonna give you
a dose of 40 milligrams,
709
00:30:37,903 --> 00:30:41,340
which is, you know, that's
pretty high for an injectable.
710
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:42,741
ZAC: That's a, yeah.
711
00:30:42,808 --> 00:30:44,142
TONY: All right.
712
00:30:44,209 --> 00:30:45,310
I'm gonna shoot
it into your delt.
713
00:30:45,377 --> 00:30:47,245
And this is gonna burn.
714
00:30:53,752 --> 00:30:56,888
You're gonna wake up tomorrow
morning looking more vascular
715
00:30:56,955 --> 00:30:58,890
and harder and drier.
716
00:30:58,957 --> 00:31:00,359
ZAC: Just in time
for prejudging.
717
00:31:00,425 --> 00:31:01,526
TONY: Perfect. Yeah.
718
00:31:01,593 --> 00:31:02,861
ZAC: Yeah.
719
00:31:02,928 --> 00:31:04,663
TONY: That's a good one.
Oh, I see you twitching.
720
00:31:04,730 --> 00:31:05,797
It stings, huh?
721
00:31:05,864 --> 00:31:07,199
ZAC: Yeah, that one burn.
722
00:31:07,265 --> 00:31:09,067
TONY: Oh, yeah. That stings.
723
00:31:09,134 --> 00:31:11,837
And it's bleeding too,
so I'm gonna hold pressure.
724
00:31:11,903 --> 00:31:14,139
ZAC: It's getting pretty sore.
725
00:31:14,206 --> 00:31:16,341
TONY: Where, where do,
where do you want this last one?
726
00:31:16,408 --> 00:31:18,377
ZAC: (bleep).
727
00:31:18,643 --> 00:31:21,113
TONY: It's worth the pain.
728
00:31:21,546 --> 00:31:23,682
Oh, the other thing I want
you to take is Viagra.
729
00:31:23,749 --> 00:31:24,916
ZAC: Okay.
730
00:31:24,983 --> 00:31:26,818
TONY: Not for, not
to get an erection.
731
00:31:26,885 --> 00:31:29,888
We're taking this to push the
blood flow into our muscles.
732
00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:31,757
MARIANA: Tony really
believes in his dream of a
733
00:31:31,823 --> 00:31:34,659
steroid replacement with
none of the risks.
734
00:31:34,726 --> 00:31:35,861
TONY: We did some damage.
735
00:31:35,927 --> 00:31:37,863
ZAC: Yeah.
TONY: You ready to lift?
ZAC: Let's do it.
736
00:31:37,929 --> 00:31:40,065
MARIANA: But the reality is,
he just doesn't know what the
737
00:31:40,132 --> 00:31:42,734
long‐term dangers will be.
738
00:31:49,608 --> 00:31:51,309
TONY: Push them up
and out in front of you
739
00:31:51,376 --> 00:31:53,412
little bit for upper chest.
740
00:31:53,945 --> 00:31:55,680
ZAC: Like I told Tony,
as long as he can guarantee
741
00:31:55,747 --> 00:31:57,382
I'm not gonna die
right away from this stuff,
742
00:31:57,449 --> 00:31:58,817
then, it's okay.
743
00:31:58,884 --> 00:32:01,153
MARIANA:
Why do you put some much
confidence and trust in Tony?
744
00:32:01,219 --> 00:32:04,389
ZAC: Because not only
is the man honest,
745
00:32:04,456 --> 00:32:05,724
he's a really good friend too.
746
00:32:05,791 --> 00:32:07,492
He's just an
awesome uncle that,
747
00:32:07,559 --> 00:32:10,462
that knows everything and
takes care of you when you
need it and is always around.
748
00:32:10,529 --> 00:32:13,231
TONY: All right.
You're gonna have to breathe
more because your blood is
749
00:32:13,298 --> 00:32:16,168
super oxygenated now.
750
00:32:16,234 --> 00:32:18,403
MARIANA: When you hear all
these stories about pros
751
00:32:18,470 --> 00:32:20,639
taking steroids and
the side effects and...
752
00:32:20,705 --> 00:32:21,706
ZAC: Uh‐hmm.
753
00:32:21,773 --> 00:32:22,941
MARIANA: You know, all
the dangers involved,
754
00:32:23,008 --> 00:32:24,109
does that scare you at all?
755
00:32:24,176 --> 00:32:25,377
ZAC: No.
756
00:32:25,444 --> 00:32:27,045
A lot of these guys overdo
it and it screwed themselves.
757
00:32:27,112 --> 00:32:30,382
I have enough knowledge to keep
myself within a safe realm,
758
00:32:30,449 --> 00:32:32,617
and I know
enough to trust my gut.
759
00:32:32,684 --> 00:32:35,120
MARIANA: Tomorrow, Zac will
pit himself against other
760
00:32:35,187 --> 00:32:37,189
aspiring bodybuilders.
761
00:32:37,255 --> 00:32:40,158
It will be a test of both
Zac's new physique and of
762
00:32:40,225 --> 00:32:43,195
Dr. Tony's new wonder drug.
763
00:33:11,022 --> 00:33:12,190
MAN (over PA):
And coming up next,
764
00:33:12,257 --> 00:33:14,626
we have competitor
number 43, Ali Balighi.
765
00:33:15,093 --> 00:33:17,529
MARIANA: It's the first
day of Mr. Olympia,
766
00:33:17,596 --> 00:33:20,332
and hundreds of bodybuilders
are squaring off.
767
00:33:20,966 --> 00:33:22,601
(inaudible)
768
00:33:33,345 --> 00:33:36,014
MARIANA: Zac is about to go on
stage for the amateur portion
769
00:33:36,081 --> 00:33:37,849
of the competition.
770
00:33:37,916 --> 00:33:39,951
If the judges like
what they see,
771
00:33:40,018 --> 00:33:43,188
Zac can fulfill his goal
of turning professional.
772
00:33:43,455 --> 00:33:45,123
ZAC: I don't consider
myself natural at all.
773
00:33:45,190 --> 00:33:46,858
I may not be using steroids,
774
00:33:46,925 --> 00:33:48,493
but I'm still like
using things that are
775
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,396
comparable and influence
your hormonal balance.
776
00:33:51,897 --> 00:33:53,098
MARIANA: Uh‐hmm.
777
00:33:53,164 --> 00:33:55,233
He's betting that Tony Huge's
new experimental drug will
778
00:33:55,300 --> 00:33:57,669
give him a competitive edge.
779
00:33:57,736 --> 00:33:58,870
ZAC: With the
injectable SARMs,
780
00:33:58,937 --> 00:34:01,206
what I want is to look
roided out without being on
781
00:34:01,273 --> 00:34:05,110
mainstream roids and
being way healthier.
782
00:34:06,945 --> 00:34:10,081
(overlapping chatter)
783
00:34:11,950 --> 00:34:14,920
MARIANA: Today, Zac will
take on 24 other amateur
784
00:34:14,986 --> 00:34:18,557
bodybuilders in the
Classic Physique category.
785
00:34:27,499 --> 00:34:28,800
MAN: Yeah.
786
00:34:30,535 --> 00:34:32,871
MARIANA: Only the top three
will advance and be given
787
00:34:32,938 --> 00:34:34,706
their professional cards.
788
00:34:37,509 --> 00:34:38,510
That's him. That's him.
789
00:34:38,577 --> 00:34:40,111
TONY: Oh, Zac. Yes, Zac.
790
00:34:44,316 --> 00:34:45,417
MARIANA: Are you nervous?
791
00:34:45,483 --> 00:34:46,885
TONY: Yeah, I'm, I, I
usually get nervous, like,
792
00:34:46,952 --> 00:34:48,620
for the competitor,
for the client so.
793
00:34:55,527 --> 00:34:56,861
WOMAN: Yeah, Zac.
794
00:34:57,195 --> 00:34:58,296
TONY: Beautiful.
795
00:34:58,363 --> 00:34:59,798
WOMAN: Fifty‐one.
796
00:34:59,864 --> 00:35:01,633
TONY: Tighten the lower abs.
797
00:35:01,700 --> 00:35:02,834
MAN (over PA): Relax.
Quarter turn to your right.
798
00:35:02,901 --> 00:35:04,302
TONY: Wow.
799
00:35:06,204 --> 00:35:07,772
MARIANA: Woo‐hoo!
800
00:35:07,839 --> 00:35:09,641
When he first walks on stage,
801
00:35:09,708 --> 00:35:12,410
I'm once again blown away
by Zac's transformation.
802
00:35:14,045 --> 00:35:15,113
MAN (over PA):
Let's hear some noise.
803
00:35:15,180 --> 00:35:17,315
Who do you guys wanna see?
804
00:35:18,984 --> 00:35:20,118
502.
805
00:35:20,185 --> 00:35:22,320
MARIANA: Contestants are
called to the front of the
806
00:35:22,387 --> 00:35:23,955
stage in groups of five.
807
00:35:24,022 --> 00:35:26,925
Judges are looking for the
perfect combination of muscle
808
00:35:26,992 --> 00:35:28,960
definition and size.
809
00:35:29,828 --> 00:35:32,964
Officially, steroids drugs
are banned at Mr. Olympia.
810
00:35:33,698 --> 00:35:35,667
But there are no
drug tests today,
811
00:35:35,734 --> 00:35:38,470
so it's impossible to know
if any of these bodies were
812
00:35:38,536 --> 00:35:41,139
sculpted with anabolic drugs.
813
00:35:41,406 --> 00:35:44,009
MAN (over PA): 481, 485.
814
00:35:44,342 --> 00:35:46,144
TONY: You see how some of
these guys have a lot more
815
00:35:46,211 --> 00:35:47,445
muscle than Zac has?
816
00:35:47,512 --> 00:35:48,880
MARIANA: Yeah.
817
00:35:48,947 --> 00:35:51,282
TONY: Now if Zac
can get this amount of
muscle with his posing,
818
00:35:51,349 --> 00:35:52,984
with his structure,
819
00:35:53,051 --> 00:35:56,254
then he could go
really far in this sport.
820
00:35:56,821 --> 00:35:59,357
MARIANA: You can see the
frustration on Zac's face as
821
00:35:59,424 --> 00:36:02,594
other competitors are asked
to pose for the judges first.
822
00:36:03,294 --> 00:36:05,563
MAN (over PA): 390, 476.
823
00:36:06,331 --> 00:36:08,833
MARIANA: Tony believes that
the bigger participants have
824
00:36:08,900 --> 00:36:11,036
simply taken more
drugs than Zac.
825
00:36:11,703 --> 00:36:14,506
TONY: If he wants to grow
after this competition
which I think he will,
826
00:36:14,572 --> 00:36:17,142
then it's time to start
using some of the drugs that
827
00:36:17,208 --> 00:36:19,377
can build a lot
more muscle like the rest of
828
00:36:19,444 --> 00:36:20,545
these guys have.
829
00:36:20,612 --> 00:36:23,048
MAN (over PA): 315.
830
00:36:23,114 --> 00:36:25,316
MARIANA: Yet another group
is called up instead of Zac.
831
00:36:25,383 --> 00:36:27,452
MAN (over PA): 502.
832
00:36:27,519 --> 00:36:28,987
MARIANA: As the
first session ends,
833
00:36:29,054 --> 00:36:31,723
his odds are not looking good.
834
00:36:33,892 --> 00:36:36,094
MAN (over PA): Relax.
Thank you, gentlemen.
835
00:36:37,529 --> 00:36:40,165
MARIANA:
But there's still another
round of the competition,
836
00:36:40,231 --> 00:36:42,500
and anything can happen.
837
00:36:42,867 --> 00:36:46,237
TONY: Zac. Amazing posing,
incredible stamina.
838
00:36:46,971 --> 00:36:48,006
But how do you feel?
839
00:36:48,073 --> 00:36:49,541
Do you feel flat?
Do you feel full?
840
00:36:49,607 --> 00:36:52,043
ZAC: I mean, I might have
just got my ass whooped.
841
00:36:52,110 --> 00:36:54,612
TONY: Now, if you wanna use
this as an experiment to see
842
00:36:54,679 --> 00:36:56,781
how much we can fill you
out with some more advanced
843
00:36:56,848 --> 00:36:58,950
chemistry before the finals,
844
00:36:59,017 --> 00:37:01,052
then that's what
we can do right now.
845
00:37:01,119 --> 00:37:02,721
MARIANA:
Despite Zac's pessimism,
846
00:37:02,787 --> 00:37:05,323
Tony sees a
golden opportunity.
847
00:37:05,824 --> 00:37:06,925
Like what?
848
00:37:06,991 --> 00:37:08,693
ZAC: Like what?
Is the question.
849
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,330
TONY: Like, like
insulin, IGF, high carbs,
850
00:37:12,397 --> 00:37:14,265
throw in some sodium.
851
00:37:14,332 --> 00:37:15,166
Let's do it. Let's.
852
00:37:15,233 --> 00:37:16,401
MARIANA: So that
would be right now?
853
00:37:16,468 --> 00:37:17,669
TONY: Let's do a
three‐hour transformation.
854
00:37:17,736 --> 00:37:18,903
MARIANA: Right now?
855
00:37:18,970 --> 00:37:20,972
TONY: Let's get him some
drugs and some food.
856
00:37:27,479 --> 00:37:30,782
So this is, this is gonna
be a little dangerous because
857
00:37:30,849 --> 00:37:33,818
I want you to take a high
dosage really to fill you out.
858
00:37:38,223 --> 00:37:40,125
TONY: I'll grab some
goodies to inject.
859
00:37:42,994 --> 00:37:46,297
TONY: The insulin is gonna
cause your blood sugar to drop.
860
00:37:48,133 --> 00:37:50,101
And then I'm gonna
inject you with AMP,
861
00:37:50,168 --> 00:37:53,338
Adenosine Monophosphate
to volumize your blood.
862
00:37:54,506 --> 00:37:56,775
MARIANA: Tony is injecting
Zac with hundreds of dollars
863
00:37:56,841 --> 00:37:58,643
of free drugs.
864
00:37:58,710 --> 00:38:01,045
TONY: And that also can
make you very dizzy.
865
00:38:01,112 --> 00:38:03,181
MARIANA: But what's
the real cost for Zac?
866
00:38:03,481 --> 00:38:05,150
TONY: I don't want you
to pass out on stage,
867
00:38:05,216 --> 00:38:06,684
but we're gonna get
you right to the edge of
868
00:38:06,751 --> 00:38:09,053
where you're gonna
be a little bit dizzy.
869
00:38:11,055 --> 00:38:12,957
Okay. I'm gonna put
the insulin in last,
870
00:38:13,024 --> 00:38:17,629
so first I'm putting
IGF des, 200 micrograms.
871
00:38:19,364 --> 00:38:21,566
Ah, what the heck,
250 micrograms.
872
00:38:23,902 --> 00:38:25,236
TONY: Yeah.
873
00:38:26,938 --> 00:38:28,640
TONY: Two, yeah, nothing's
gonna happen to you.
874
00:38:28,706 --> 00:38:30,441
But right before
I shoot, shoot that,
875
00:38:30,508 --> 00:38:33,945
I just want some pictures and,
and video of you because it's
876
00:38:34,012 --> 00:38:35,780
gonna work pretty quick.
877
00:38:35,847 --> 00:38:38,049
So I've got my
videographer here.
878
00:38:38,116 --> 00:38:39,551
What do you think?
879
00:38:39,617 --> 00:38:41,419
You got a good angle.
880
00:38:44,055 --> 00:38:46,891
Of all the SARMs, this is one
of the faster‐acting ones.
881
00:38:50,862 --> 00:38:53,631
MARIANA: Are you doing any
of these for the first time?
882
00:38:53,698 --> 00:38:55,366
ZAC: Yeah, all of them.
883
00:38:57,001 --> 00:38:59,070
TONY: Three hundred
micrograms of IGF des,
884
00:38:59,537 --> 00:39:02,540
five units of growth hormone,
and fifteen units of insulin.
885
00:39:03,341 --> 00:39:05,543
It's a lot to combine.
886
00:39:05,610 --> 00:39:08,346
MARIANA: Zac is understandably
nervous about taking
887
00:39:08,413 --> 00:39:10,281
insulin in particular.
888
00:39:10,348 --> 00:39:11,616
ZAC: Are we doing this
whole shot in my glute?
889
00:39:11,683 --> 00:39:13,218
TONY: On your glute, yeah.
ZAC: On my glute?
890
00:39:13,284 --> 00:39:15,320
TONY: And Vivian, how long
until the rice is ready?
891
00:39:15,386 --> 00:39:17,522
MARIANA: Insulin can be bought
over the counter at any drug
892
00:39:17,589 --> 00:39:21,059
store but injecting too much
of it can lead to seizures,
893
00:39:21,626 --> 00:39:24,462
coma, brain damage, or death.
894
00:39:25,697 --> 00:39:26,698
TONY: As soon as we hit this,
895
00:39:26,764 --> 00:39:28,399
I want you to
start eating some carbs.
896
00:39:28,466 --> 00:39:30,735
Don't like shove it down,
but just start snacking on it,
897
00:39:30,802 --> 00:39:33,371
get your blood sugar steady.
898
00:39:47,518 --> 00:39:50,088
After the shot, I'm gonna put
pressure on it so it disburses
899
00:39:50,154 --> 00:39:51,856
it into the
bloodstream faster.
900
00:39:51,923 --> 00:39:54,158
MARIANA: Zac is
also injecting AMP,
901
00:39:54,225 --> 00:39:57,228
a steroid created for
racehorses and not allowed for
902
00:39:57,295 --> 00:39:58,763
human consumption.
903
00:39:58,830 --> 00:40:00,932
TONY: It's gonna
hyper‐oxygenate your blood,
904
00:40:00,999 --> 00:40:03,201
and so you're gonna be gasping
for air to get more oxygen
905
00:40:03,268 --> 00:40:05,270
into your bloodstream.
906
00:40:05,336 --> 00:40:06,838
This is actually
very therapeutic.
907
00:40:06,905 --> 00:40:10,074
It's actually
very, very healthy.
908
00:40:10,141 --> 00:40:11,109
Does it sting?
909
00:40:11,175 --> 00:40:13,912
ZAC: Oh, yeah.
910
00:40:14,345 --> 00:40:15,513
MARIANA: I'm not gonna lie.
911
00:40:15,580 --> 00:40:18,783
I'm completely rooting for
Zac to win this competition.
912
00:40:18,850 --> 00:40:21,619
But I don't wanna see
him die in the process.
913
00:40:40,705 --> 00:40:42,340
TONY: Of all the SARMs,
this is one of the
914
00:40:42,407 --> 00:40:44,676
faster‐acting ones.
915
00:40:44,742 --> 00:40:47,445
MARIANA: On a short break from
the Mr. Olympia competition,
916
00:40:47,512 --> 00:40:49,914
Tony is about to inject
Zac with a long list
917
00:40:49,981 --> 00:40:51,783
of anabolic drugs.
918
00:40:52,083 --> 00:40:54,352
TONY: So this time, you're
taking a 30% higher dosage
919
00:40:54,419 --> 00:40:55,954
than we took at the
gym for practice.
920
00:40:56,020 --> 00:40:57,055
ZAC: Okay.
921
00:40:57,121 --> 00:40:59,190
MARIANA: Tony is hoping
to transform Zac's body
922
00:40:59,257 --> 00:41:00,992
in just three hours.
923
00:41:01,059 --> 00:41:02,593
TONY: Okay.
So it stings a lot.
924
00:41:02,660 --> 00:41:04,329
So we're definitely gonna
have to put pressure because
925
00:41:04,395 --> 00:41:06,164
the body's gonna react to that.
926
00:41:06,230 --> 00:41:08,533
If I put pressure,
it distributes into your
927
00:41:08,599 --> 00:41:10,068
bloodstream quickly.
928
00:41:12,437 --> 00:41:13,638
So this time...
929
00:41:13,705 --> 00:41:15,640
MARIANA: It's a last‐ditch
effort to impress the Olympia
930
00:41:15,707 --> 00:41:18,009
judges for the final
round of the event.
931
00:41:18,309 --> 00:41:19,877
ZAC: So what's this
gonna do for my physique?
932
00:41:19,944 --> 00:41:22,180
TONY: Make your veins pop
out, make your muscles fuller.
933
00:41:22,246 --> 00:41:25,516
MARIANA: This is
all against the rules of
the Olympia competition,
934
00:41:25,583 --> 00:41:29,354
and it's the kind of
thing that can get you in
trouble with the DEA.
935
00:41:29,721 --> 00:41:31,289
How much of all the
stuff you've given him,
936
00:41:31,356 --> 00:41:33,491
how much of it is illegal?
937
00:41:33,558 --> 00:41:34,892
TONY: Let's see.
938
00:41:34,959 --> 00:41:38,296
So the AMP's not
technically illegal.
939
00:41:38,363 --> 00:41:40,631
It's a grey area.
940
00:41:40,698 --> 00:41:42,900
This is something you wouldn't
be allowed to sell to another
941
00:41:42,967 --> 00:41:45,336
human for human
consumption like a drug,
942
00:41:45,403 --> 00:41:46,871
it's not FDA approved.
943
00:41:46,938 --> 00:41:49,307
MARIANA: Are you
allowed to administer
them to somebody else?
944
00:41:49,374 --> 00:41:53,811
TONY: Probably not.
945
00:41:54,445 --> 00:41:56,014
MARIANA: Could he get
in trouble for this?
946
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,617
TONY: No. Nope.
MARIANA: Are you worried, Zac?
947
00:42:03,621 --> 00:42:06,324
ZAC: If the po‐po come
knockin', we'll run together.
948
00:42:06,824 --> 00:42:09,027
TONY: You've got the
number of your lawyer.
949
00:42:09,093 --> 00:42:11,329
ZAC: Okay.
TONY: Dr. Tony Huge.
ZAC: All right.
950
00:42:15,133 --> 00:42:18,503
MARIANA: After injecting
half a dozen new anabolics
into his bloodstream,
951
00:42:20,171 --> 00:42:22,774
Zac arrives
back at the competition.
952
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,376
He's due on stage in
less than an hour.
953
00:42:25,443 --> 00:42:27,712
TONY: Okay.
That's pretty good.
954
00:42:27,779 --> 00:42:30,815
So, now we can see
some veins popping out.
955
00:42:30,882 --> 00:42:32,583
He looks like he put
on about eight pounds of
956
00:42:32,650 --> 00:42:35,286
muscle in just a few hours.
957
00:42:36,921 --> 00:42:37,889
MARIANA: It's true though.
958
00:42:37,955 --> 00:42:39,257
You can totally see
the difference now.
959
00:42:39,323 --> 00:42:42,060
I don't think I could notice
any of these veins before,
960
00:42:42,126 --> 00:42:44,729
and now I can notice them all.
961
00:42:45,196 --> 00:42:47,465
Zac's veins are popping,
962
00:42:47,532 --> 00:42:49,901
and his muscles are
noticeably bigger.
963
00:42:49,967 --> 00:42:53,671
He's also feeling short of
breath, a side effect of AMP,
964
00:42:54,338 --> 00:42:56,374
the horse steroid.
965
00:43:02,380 --> 00:43:03,948
He's worried that
this won't be enough to
966
00:43:04,015 --> 00:43:06,250
impress the judges.
967
00:43:06,317 --> 00:43:09,153
I'm worried he's going
to pass out on stage.
968
00:43:16,894 --> 00:43:20,064
MAN (over PA): Competitor
number 100, Daniel Chmura.
969
00:43:21,065 --> 00:43:24,502
Competitor number
158, Luis Estrada.
970
00:43:24,802 --> 00:43:27,038
MARIANA: As other
competitors are eliminated,
971
00:43:27,105 --> 00:43:29,607
Zac remains on stage.
972
00:43:29,674 --> 00:43:31,742
MAN (over PA):
61, Anmar Ezzulddin.
973
00:43:31,809 --> 00:43:33,344
MARIANA: He's still up there.
TONY: Yeah.
974
00:43:33,411 --> 00:43:35,780
MAN (over PA):
Competitor number
204, Denny Guemos.
975
00:43:35,847 --> 00:43:36,948
TONY: Good. Good.
976
00:43:37,014 --> 00:43:38,149
MARIANA: They didn't
call his number.
977
00:43:38,216 --> 00:43:39,283
MAN (over PA):
Competitor number 312...
978
00:43:39,350 --> 00:43:42,186
MARIANA: But finally,
Zac's name is called and
979
00:43:42,253 --> 00:43:44,388
his day is done.
980
00:43:45,223 --> 00:43:46,858
MAN (over PA):
Competitor number 315.
981
00:43:47,191 --> 00:43:49,994
MARIANA: He finishes
tied for 16th place.
982
00:43:50,061 --> 00:43:52,363
Not the results he
was looking for.
983
00:43:52,430 --> 00:43:53,364
Are you sad at all?
984
00:43:53,431 --> 00:43:54,465
Are you disappointed?
985
00:43:54,532 --> 00:43:55,967
ZAC: I'm not actually
extremely disappointed.
986
00:43:56,033 --> 00:43:57,602
I just didn't have the
conditioning I needed so they
987
00:43:57,668 --> 00:44:00,171
deserved it more
than I did today.
988
00:44:00,471 --> 00:44:01,639
MARIANA:
At the end of the day,
989
00:44:01,706 --> 00:44:04,008
Tony and Zac are both
clear on one thing,
990
00:44:04,075 --> 00:44:07,345
competing at this level will
mean taking even more drugs,
991
00:44:09,881 --> 00:44:12,016
and even bigger doses.
992
00:44:13,451 --> 00:44:14,986
ZAC: I definitely felt good
with Tony's little cocktail.
993
00:44:15,052 --> 00:44:17,121
Yeah, that definitely
worked, that whole thing.
994
00:44:17,188 --> 00:44:20,958
TONY: Bodybuilding is a
sport, and it's also art.
995
00:44:21,025 --> 00:44:23,561
And the drugs and
the steroids give us a bigger
996
00:44:23,628 --> 00:44:25,696
paintbrush and more
colors to choose from.
997
00:44:25,763 --> 00:44:28,533
ZAC: That's exactly right.
That's exactly right.
998
00:44:32,904 --> 00:44:34,672
MARIANA: Would you
call it an epidemic?
999
00:44:34,739 --> 00:44:37,341
THOMAS: This is an epidemic
where you look great,
1000
00:44:37,408 --> 00:44:40,111
but your day will come.
1001
00:44:41,779 --> 00:44:44,348
MARIANA: It's estimated that
up to four million Americans
1002
00:44:44,415 --> 00:44:46,284
are now using steroids.
1003
00:44:49,820 --> 00:44:50,788
Hi, Tony.
1004
00:44:50,855 --> 00:44:52,056
TONY (over computer):
Hi, Mariana.
1005
00:44:52,123 --> 00:44:53,224
MARIANA: How are you?
1006
00:44:53,291 --> 00:44:55,059
TONY (over computer):
Good. Thanks.
1007
00:44:58,296 --> 00:45:01,165
MARIANA: So you've
spent the last couple
of months in Thailand,
1008
00:45:01,666 --> 00:45:02,533
is that right?
1009
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:04,001
TONY (over computer): Yeah.
1010
00:45:04,068 --> 00:45:07,438
I'm building an epicenter
of chemical transformations to
1011
00:45:07,505 --> 00:45:10,107
push the limits on
performance enhancement.
1012
00:45:10,174 --> 00:45:12,243
MARIANA: When I last
checked in with Tony Huge,
1013
00:45:12,310 --> 00:45:15,079
he's still promoting
"Enhanced Athlete" products,
1014
00:45:15,146 --> 00:45:18,082
but he's got a new place
to conduct human experiments.
1015
00:45:18,950 --> 00:45:20,284
Are you and Trevor
planning on moving your whole
1016
00:45:20,351 --> 00:45:21,852
operation to Asia?
1017
00:45:21,919 --> 00:45:25,089
TONY (over computer):
Yeah. We're transitioning
right now, so yeah.
1018
00:45:25,156 --> 00:45:26,958
As fast as we can.
1019
00:45:27,291 --> 00:45:30,861
In Thailand, they have
clinics on every corner.
1020
00:45:30,928 --> 00:45:33,231
We don't have to
go through doctors and get
1021
00:45:33,297 --> 00:45:34,799
prescriptions for lab work.
1022
00:45:34,865 --> 00:45:39,036
Look, SHBG, Cortisol,
DHT, Prolactin estrogen,
1023
00:45:39,370 --> 00:45:40,471
Growth Hormone.
1024
00:45:40,538 --> 00:45:42,206
We can just move much
faster in Thailand than in
1025
00:45:42,273 --> 00:45:44,075
the US with our research.
1026
00:45:44,141 --> 00:45:47,411
MARIANA: In 2019, a bill was
introduced to the US Senate
1027
00:45:47,478 --> 00:45:51,215
that would allow the DEA to
arrest anyone making SARMs.
1028
00:45:52,683 --> 00:45:54,018
Are you ever afraid
that the authorities will
1029
00:45:54,085 --> 00:45:55,886
come after you?
1030
00:45:55,953 --> 00:45:58,289
TONY (over computer):
Yeah, sure, there's always
a little bit of that fear.
1031
00:45:58,356 --> 00:46:02,159
Yeah. It's not so much that I'm
running away from authorities
1032
00:46:02,226 --> 00:46:04,428
and law enforcement, as it is,
1033
00:46:04,495 --> 00:46:07,698
I'm just less of a target
if I'm outside the country.
1034
00:46:07,999 --> 00:46:09,800
MARIANA: Do you think there's
anything wrong with wanting to
1035
00:46:09,867 --> 00:46:11,836
be superhuman?
1036
00:46:12,536 --> 00:46:13,771
TONY (over computer): No.
1037
00:46:13,838 --> 00:46:17,441
I think that that is the
next step of our evolution.
1038
00:46:17,508 --> 00:46:19,243
I mean, how strong
can we become?
1039
00:46:19,310 --> 00:46:20,911
How amazing can we look?
1040
00:46:20,978 --> 00:46:23,247
How long can we live?
1041
00:46:25,283 --> 00:46:29,420
If people could just
visualize when they felt
the best in their life,
1042
00:46:30,755 --> 00:46:32,256
imagine having that
all the time and then
1043
00:46:32,323 --> 00:46:34,692
imagine amplifying it.
1044
00:46:37,028 --> 00:46:38,996
That's what it feels
like to be superhuman.
1045
00:46:39,063 --> 00:46:42,033
And once people experience,
it's hard to go back.
1046
00:46:45,069 --> 00:46:48,039
MARIANA: This is what makes
Tony's pitch so seductive.
1047
00:46:49,573 --> 00:46:52,109
He believes,
with missionary‐like zeal,
1048
00:46:52,176 --> 00:46:53,477
in what he preaches.
1049
00:46:53,544 --> 00:46:55,346
TONY: All right. Here we go.
1050
00:46:57,748 --> 00:47:01,385
MARIANA: That sort of faith
can be dangerous, even deadly.
1051
00:47:02,987 --> 00:47:05,356
But it's hard to argue
with those convinced they're
1052
00:47:05,423 --> 00:47:08,125
on the path to salvation.
