EPO, HGH, and potions made from the male organ of copulation and urination from deer: all three are now banned from use by Chinese athletes participating in the upcoming Olympic Games. A Bloomberg report on Tuesday highlighted the updated list replica Ulysse Nardin watch of banned herbs and animal parts - which now includes turtle blood, angelic root potions, and the aforementioned deer penis - that China has distributed to its athletes. According to the report, in China, a concoction made with deer penis is believed to increase blood flow, while turtle blood (which Chinese track coach Ma Junren partially credited for a string of Chinese running successes in the 1990s) is expected to boost circulation.
Of course, as the report notes, Junren and six of his athletes were yanked from the 2000 Olympics for suspected doping. The updated list of banned substances is a response to fears that traditional Chinese medicines may contain banned substances or when taken with other traditional medicines the combination could trigger replica Baume & Mercier watch positive test results. The World Anti-Doping Agency has already banned many plant substances, including ma huang - an herbal form of ephedrine. No word yet on whether WADA will remove deer penis from all Olympic athlete supplement plans.--Jason Kerkmans

Environmental reviews are not endless.
