LaShawn Merritt fails drug test

[Dan]

Olympic and world 400m champion LaShawn Merritt failed three successive drugs tests between October and January.
His lawyer Howard Jacobs claimed in a statement that the positive tests were caused by Merritt's "use of an over-the-counter male enhancement product".

The American, 23, faces a two-year ban and admitted he had made a "foolish, immature and egotistical mistake".

Merritt claimed he had not been aware that the product he used contained the banned steroid Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA).

So what has he taken exactly?

A penis enlargement drug.

I would have admitted to steroid use rather than that.

Sounds like an elaborate cover story, a bit like Dennis Mitchell's positive testosterone test which he claimed was a result of drinking 5 bottles of beer and having sex at least 4 times. Got off with it too.

what a prick, or not as the case maybe.

It's always the same story. "It was an over-the-counter product and I didn't know what was in it, honest guv"

He should be made to get his cock out and see if it's bigger than Caster Semenya's. That way we can judge if he is telling the truth or not.

Not being racist, but for a black guy that is pretty egotistical

He admits being egotistical, but then says he didn't realise he's been doping
