ATHLETES have been using fake penises and other prosthetic devices to try to fool drug testers, including at the Athens Olympics.
David Howman, director general of the World Anti-Doping Agency, yesterday displayed one of the devices he believes was used by a member of the Hungarian team in Athens.
It consists of a plug that is inserted in the rectum, a small reservoir for "clean" urine, and a tube that is attached to the underside of the penis.
"We believe - with good evidence - that this one was used by the Hungarian team in Athens," Howman said, holding it up a little gingerly.
Hungarian hammer thrower Adrian Annus and discus thrower Robert Fazekas were stripped of their Olympic titles from Athens over doping offences.
Some of the other devices are rather more lurid, including the Whizzinator, which is available on the Internet for $200.
It consists of a fake penis mounted on an athletic support. At the press of a concealed trigger, it will deliver a stream of "clean" urine pre-stored in a small reservoir.
The artificial penis comes in only one size, but a range of colours, including white, tan, Latino, brown and black.
"What it emphasises is the need for us to have very well-trained doping control officers," Howman said.
Experienced drug testers would have no trouble spotting such devices.
Teams from WADA and the Australian Sports Drug Agency are in Sydney this week conducting training workshops for drug testers from the Oceania region.
Howman said urine testing was still the best way to detect drug cheats, despite the drawbacks.
Wtf indeed.

Wow, it's incredibly sad how far some people will go for the win.
|
|
|
i wonder if the fake black penises come in bigger sizes than the other ones
|
WTF lol
putting a bag of urine in their rectum and having a fake penis to win in athens??
WTF
|
wow, it doesn't suprise me that people would go to these lengths, but it still does kinda disgust me.
|
Yeah. Really disgusting.
But imagine if he kinda dropped it during the test. Would be damn funny to watch 
|
Hmm if i was testing, i sure as hell wouldnt spot it either. Who has the tenacity to stare at your penis for irregularities.
|
I still don't see why weed is tested for.
Not like it helps.

Wrong. Olympics are open for pros in almost every sport (boxing is not for pros, others I don't know) Dream Team 1992 - hardly amatuers.

Since when is Latino a color?

Eniram: I was just thinking the same thing... Would love to see a crayon marked "latino"... and the various legal hilarity that ensues.

Since Latino's skin color is not the same as black or white?
