I think it’ll be quite interesting to revisit this thread in Feb 2029 & see what’s what with regards to AAS etc in the US.

Personally I’m inclined to think things will pretty much be the same as they are now - but time will tell.

The best pathway to de-scheduling Testosterone has always been via the Trans hormone therapy route. In fact there are D senators, Warren and Markey, that are already out loud with their desire to see Testosterone de-scheduled for that purpose. However, as Rs have taken a position that is clearly not pro Trans, its hard to see a situation where a R house and senate pass a bill that is seen as easing the pathway to Trans therapy.

So between the reflexively anti anything Testosterone related people and the anti anything seen as even remotely pro trans people, it's hard to see how a majority would be found to support de-scheduling T.
