Wee-commerce drugs cheat loses latest appeal

Long-running case goes down the toilet as number one suspect looks set to spend a penny or two more on his lawyers...

NEWS The bizarre legal case of a man who sold his own urine online looks set to run and run, with defendant Kenneth Curtis losing his latest appeal against a custodial sentence.

Curtis was selling $69 kits which offered clean urine and a mechanism which would have enabled users to convincingly take and pass drugs tests, but he claims he's done nothing wrong, despite being banned from trading out of South Carolina in 1999 and subsequently being arrested and sentence to a six month prison sentence.

However, Curtis' claims of innocence, which were based around the argument that he was merely selling a natural product and had no control over how it was used, were undermined somewhat by his own marketing.

The controversial kits boasted that they would help sportsmen and women "Pass Any Drug Test". They also shipped with the claim that they would "allow anyone, regardless of substance intake, to pass any urinalysis within minutes".

Despite these seemingly damning pieces of evidence, Curtis claimed there is nothing to link him to the deliberate cheating of anti-doping tests.

Curtis and his lawyers appear set to continue their fight despite this latest setback at the hands of the South Carolina Supreme Court. Curtis is even threatening to take his case to the US Supreme Court according to a report on Fox.
