Olympic champion Merritt tests positive
Thu Apr 22, 4:19 pm ET
LOS ANGELES (AFP) Olympic 400m champion 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 400m, said in a statement via his lawyer that he was "deeply sorry" at failing three doping controls for the banned substance DHEA.
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.
:floorlaugh:
That's gotta be embarrassing. I bet he would have preferred to get caught leaving a bar half cocked instead of this. :crazy:
