CODE sport investigates: lethal threat of supplements

Professional fighters are using prosthetic penises to fool drug testers, an underworld drug dealer has revealed.

The black market dealer, using the pseudonym Gary, has revealed to Code Sport that he has helped two combat athletes beat the system by teaching them how to insert clean urine into the fake appendages that are stuck to their leg.

Gary said drug testers tend not to focus too closely, and athletes who are on peptides have been returning clean samples.

“What they’re doing is buying prosthetic penises right, full colour matched as well, you can pretty much buy different sizes, different colours, and you can get it all online,” Gary told Code Sport.

“What they did was they would squeeze it, and droplets come out. It wouldn’t squeeze and look like f---ing piss, it would look like you’re struggling to piss.

“That would be attached to their leg, and the testers would be watching him, but they’re not f---ing watching his dick the whole time.

“They could see the drops come out, and they’d get something like f---ing 50, 100mls, but they’d be using other peoples’ piss to get away with it.

“This wouldn’t happen post-fight, this is pre-fight. Because when you’re only getting 50 to 100mls out, they would say that they’re trying to f---ing make weight, they’re dehydrated.”

INFAMOUS FAKE PROSTHETICS

It’s not the first time this technique has been used in the fight game.

Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson admitted on his podcast three years ago that during his prime, when he would regularly have cocaine and marijuana binges, he used a prosthetic penis called the “Whizzinator”.

“One time I was using my wife’s [urine] and my wife was like, ‘Baby, you better not hope that it comes back pregnant or something.’ And I said, ‘nah, so we ain’t gonna use you any more, we’re gonna use the kid,” Tyson said, referencing his baby son.

“Cuz I got scared that the piss might come back pregnant.”

Former NBA star Lamar Odom also admitted to using a fake penis during a drug test before representing USA at the 2004 Olympic Games.

In his memoir released in 2019, Odom said he’d purchased the prosthetic penis online and used his trainer’s urine because he’d been smoking marijuana, after being informed by USA basketball that testers would be visiting him.

Given that Tyson and Odom both made the revelations several years after the incidents, and there was no way of verifying their accounts, authorities were powerless to retrospectively punish them.

While they got away with it at the time, athletes who have been caught using illegal substances have found some insane excuses over the years.

Former US sprinter Dennis Mitchell claimed he had too much sex with his wife on her birthday after testing positive for testosterone, while race walker Daniel Plaza said he’d had too much oral sex with his pregnant wife to cause elevated levels of the steroid nandrolone found in his system.

Boxer Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and tennis player Petr Korda both blamed contaminated meat for failed drug tests, sprinter LaShawn Merritt said his was caused by taking penis enlargement pills, and fellow racer Justin Gatlin said his masseuse rubbed testosterone into his buttocks without his knowledge.

And few will forget cricketer Shane Warne blaming his mother for taking a banned diuretic, that saw him banned for 12 months.
