Meerkat Prompts: Special Injections (a bit NSFW!)
It can be said that sportspeople will often seek out every marginal gain they can, in any given sport. They will push the envelope of the rules to breaking point, and some more nefarious sportspeople will not hesitate to break the rules, if they believe they can get away with it. Sometimes they’ll exploit loopholes for as long as possible, and sometimes… well, sometimes, they’re prepared to risk their health in pursuit of greatness.
What I hadn’t expected to read was of a possible trend among male athletes at the Winter Olympics to utilise a very special injection to a rather sensitive area, in the hope of increasing, um, size. Specifically, some competitors are alleged to be considering injecting their penises (yes, seriously) with hyaluronic acid, in order to increase the, um, girth of their members.
You may be thinking ‘ew’, and you may also be thinking ‘ow!’, and you may be wondering how this could possibly confer any kind of advantage. Well, in sports such as show-jumping, surface area is everything. It determines how long a skier can soar through the air. More surface area equates to a longer flight. An increase in circumference, even by a couple of centimetres, might make the difference between a silver and gold medal. Olympians have a very limited window in their careers to win medals, so some may be prepared to go to extreme lengths (no puns, please!) to achieve victory.
It ought to be noted that there’s no evidence anyone is actually prepared to stick needles into their manhoods in order to win medals. Whilst there are certainly plenty of athletes who are prepared to go to extraordinary lengths to win, I imagine most fellas are going to baulk at such a move. I know I would! This is not to say that it definitely won’t happen, and the kicker here is that hyaluronic acid is not a banned substance. However, manipulating the surface area of the suits is not allowed, so is it really worth poking one’s pecker anyway?! I’d also dare say there are more enjoyable ways to increase the surface area!
In short, it’s quite amazing the lengths (urgh, give me strength) some people will go to in order to gain an edge. You gotta be pretty ballsy!
