Olympic champion Merritt tests positive for steroid for over-the-counter penis enlargement product

Olympic 400 metres champ LaShawn Merritt of the United States has been suspended after testing positive for an anabolic steroid contained in an over-the-counter penis enlargement product.

Merritt, who is also the world champion at 400 metres, said in a statement via his lawyer that he was "deeply sorry" at failing three doping controls for the banned substance dehydroepiandrosterone.

The 23-year-old American, who faces a two-year ban, said: "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.

Ha ha somebody's fucking around somewhere.

I've read the same quote in another source of the AFP story ...

BUT:

The same quote - or anything like it - is nowhere to be found in any other source or any other story, from what I can see.

...to wrap my hands around...

Heh. Heh heh...

[T.D.]

Yeah, I saw the "hands around" in the early AFP item, but nowhere since.

Still, it's about the funniest story I can recall. I initially did a double-take, fearing some kind of belated April Fool hoax.
