"I will say, you know, like, one of the things that shocked me about this story is that I've always pictured performance enhancing drugs and steroids for things that you need, like, power for. Do you know what I mean? Like extreme power. Sprinting, lifting, brr. I never thought I'd see the day where a figure skater would be injecting themselves."

Hello, this is a Trevor Noah episode. I think that the placing of "for" in the quote changes the intended meaning.
things that you need power for = e.g, things that can only work when feeding (electric/solar/etc) power
things that you need for power = things that give you power (physical strength) - is what he meant and should've said.
Would you agree?
