Pistorius may have been using sexual aid containing pig testicles

2/28/2013

Oscar Pistorius' reps have named the substance found in his bedroom after girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp's shooting death: Testis compositum, an herbal remedy they said he used to help with "muscle recovery." Which muscle the double amputee used it to help with is unknown, but a substance with the same name is marketed in the U.S. as a testosterone booster and sexual enhancer. It contains pig testicles, pig heart, pig embryo and pig adrenal gland (oh, and ginseng), among other ingredients. This homeopathic treatment, available in both oral and injected forms and apparently not banned in sports, can be also used to combat fatigue. [Source]
