Load of rubbish just an embarassing excuse so no one looks deeper. He has been taking performance enhancing drugs and been caught.

"To know that I've tested positive as a result of a product that I used for personal reasons is extremely difficult to wrap my hands around."

So it obviously worked then.

Exactly. He should be stripped of his medals and such bull shit should have zero tolerance.

I wonder how much of that stuff Linford Christie used to take. No wonder he was such a fast runner.

Re: Olympic champion Merritt tests positive for steroid post penis enlargement treatm

That's the most ridiculous excuse I've never read.......

It even beats Richard Virenque's "à l'insu de mon plein gré" (over my unwilling will)


and women are the only real treatment....

Re: Olympic champion Merritt tests positive for steroid post penis enlargement treatm

Here I have "always" thought that anabolic steroids cause shrinkage...

Why in tarnation would there be anabolic steroids in a product that supposedly is labeled for use to enlarge?

I think they cause shrinkage of the round dangly things as I hinted above.

I still think friction has a more pronounced effect on the other bit than steroids.

Re: Olympic champion Merritt tests positive for steroid post penis enlargement treatm

Just a note to the ladies.

I was banned from competing in the olympics for being tested positive for a substance that can only be found in an over the counter penis reduction product.

Sadly the product was also unsuccessful.

I think I was typing as you posted and alright.

So, perhaps the idea (from the drug manufacturer) is that with smaller huevos, the rest will seem larger?

(And, I know it is a stereotype thing but I have to admit to being surprised when confronted with a picture of a black man in regards to this story. )


I also have to say I agree with ZurichTim...
It sounds like a story cooked up to try to get the committee to tip-toe around the issue rather than being gung-ho with the testing. Kinda silly considering the lengths that the sporting community has gone to regarding legality of medal winning runners.


Ah well, hope (that others are completely gullible) springs eternal.
