Patrick Arnold (born 1966)[1] is an American organic chemist known for introducing androstenedione, 1-androstenediol, and methylhexanamine into the dietary supplement market, and for creating the designer steroid tetrahydrogestrinone, also known as THG and "the clear".[2] THG, along with two other anabolic steroids that Arnold manufactured (norbolethone and desoxymethyltestosterone (DMT)), not banned at the time of their creation, were hard-to-detect drugs at the heart of the BALCO professional sports doping scandal.[3][4] BALCO distributed these worldwide to world-class athletes in a wide variety of sports ranging from track and field to professional baseball and football.
Patrick Arnold also reintroduced methylhexanamine into the market as a dietary supplement[5] under the mark Geranamine, a substance that has gained popularity.
Arnold, who is also an amateur bodybuilder, initially gained notoriety as "the Father of Prohormones."[6]
