From The Washington Post
A reigning Olympic sprint champion from Virginia who emerged as a star at the 2008 Summer Games faces a two-year competition ban after testing positive for an anabolic steroid he said he consumed unknowingly in an over-the-counter male enhancement product.
LaShawn Merritt, 23, the 400-meter Olympic gold medal winner in Beijing, on Thursday said he was "deeply sorry" for using a product for "personal reasons" that caused him to flunk three drug tests since last October.

So let me get this right. LaShawn Merritt was busted for using an over the counter drug to make his penis larger? Yep, that's what happened. One of the ingredients in this male enhancement product is a substance banned in international track and field. So LaShawn more than likely has lost his career because he was trying to have a larger penis.
Didn't anyone tell LaShawn that those male enhancement drugsd don't work? If they did everyone would know, trust me. This definitely makes LaShawn the dumbest man in sports, at least for now.

Agreed. That was pretty careless on behalf of Merritt. Certainly not worth the risk. I always figured enhancement products to be a long-term process. Doesn't sound like he had been taking them very long or he would have/should have tested positive awhile ago.
Might be lying.
@Don
Good point about him possibly lying to cover that he was just using performance enhancing drugs.
Val,
How do you know that they don't work....ha ha ha
Trying to impress the ladies turned into a big FAIL!!!
@CO
