Chinese Olympic stars using Scots deer penises as secret ingredient to success

Aug 22 2008 By Kevan Christie

SCOTS gamekeepers are supplying China's Olympic team with a secret weapon - deer pizzle.

Athletes are using the penises of Highland stags to boost stamina and enhance performance.

And the ingredient seems to be working as the Chinese team sit at the top of the medal table in Beijing.

Wouldn't be a Daily Mail subsidiary by any chance?

Wow, I don't think I would eat that for a million dollars let alone a silly medal. :sick:

Stranger things in the world have been used for spiritual and medicinal boosts.

In China, there are whole restaurants focused around the preparation and consumption of various species' male genital organs.

An article on the phenomenon from the BBC news source:

Beijing's Penis Emporium (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/5371500.stm)


The Guolizhuang restaurant claims to be China's only speciality penis emporium, and no, it is not a joke.


The atmosphere is more exotic spa than boozy night-out.


Nancy describes herself as a nutritionist.


"We don't call them waiters here. And we don't serve much alcohol," she says. "Only common people come here to get drunk and laugh."


But she does offer me a deer-blood and vodka cocktail, which I decide to skip.


It surprises me not in the least that they have a special addition to their Olympic teams' diets in this arena.

It's a Scottish newspaper, more comparable to The Sun newspaper (its main competition). By which I mean, it doesn't even try to pretend to be high brow...
