Devis Licciardi, a long distance runner, allegedly filled the artificial organ with uncontaminated urine which he then gave as a sample during a post-race test for banned substances.[/color][color=#5C5C5C]
Mr Licciardi had just competed in a 10km road race at Molfetta in the southern region of Puglia at the weekend when he was asked to take the urine test.[/color][color=#5C5C5C]
The 27-year-old athlete, a member of the Italian air force team, was allegedly caught trying to siphon off “clean” urine from the fake penis, which was concealed in his underpants.[/color][color=#5C5C5C]
As he prepared to take the test, he had reportedly told a doctor: “I’d like to be alone.”[/color][color=#5C5C5C]
But the doctor refused the request, saying that he needed to be in attendance, in accordance with anti-doping laws.[/color][color=#5C5C5C]
The athlete had notched up some disappointing performances in the last few months, according to [i]La Gazzetta dello Sport[/i].[/color][color=#5C5C5C]
Athletic officials immediately reported the incident to Italy’s anti-doping authority.[/color][color=#5C5C5C]
If found guilty of the offence, he risks being disqualified for two years.[/color][color=#5C5C5C]
He will be questioned by anti-doping authorities in an office close to Rome’s Olympic Stadium on Wednesday.[/color][color=#5C5C5C]
Fake penises are readily available on the internet and even come in different colours to match users’ skin colour, including white, black and Latino.[/color][color=#5C5C5C]
One website offers “life-like” prosthetic penises complete with packets of dehydrated, uncontaminated urine, which can be turned liquid with chemical heat packs.[/color][color=#5C5C5C]
A satisfied customer wrote on one website: “I passed my drug test with ease and the person giving the test watched me pee. It is worth every penny.”[/color][color=#5C5C5C]
The alleged ruse recalls a scene in the British cult film Withnail and I, when Richard E Grant’s character tries to beat a drink-driving test by siphoning clean urine from a plastic bag attached to a tube.[/color][color=#5C5C5C]
The attempt ends ignominiously in a police station, when he is discovered by a suspicious sergeant.[/color]
