Substance found in Pistorius room 'an aid to muscle recovery'
Lawyers for Oscar Pistorius have identified the substance found in his bedroom after he shot dead his girlfriend as Testis compositum, and say it is an herbal remedy used “in aid of muscle recovery”.
A product called Testis compositum is also marketed as a sexual enhancer, and good for lack of stamina. Some online retailers advertise oral and injectable forms as testosterone boosters.
South African police say they found needles in Pistorius’ bedroom along with the substance, which they initially named as testosterone. Prosecutors later withdrew that and said it had been sent for lab tests.
A Pistorius family spokeswoman said that the athlete’s lawyers confirmed that the substance is Testis compositum.
