More News About The Whizzinator

Note: Some firewalls have blocked this post in TWIT for the past couple of days.  Your editor has made a revision, so hopefully everyone will be able to view it now.  I'm sure you'll be able to detect what word I had to edit. 

One of the first posts in TWIT last summer was about a man who was arrested for using The Whizzinator, a simulated peni$ and urine resevoir, while giving a urine sample in front of his probation officer.  In May, TWIT broke the story of an NFL player who had been caught with The Whizzinator in his luggage at an airport.  Airport security officials also found seven vials of dehydrated urine, which is used in conjunction with The Whizzinator.  The player, Onterrio Smith, running back for the Minnesota Vikings, has been suspended from the NFL for the 2005 season for violating the league's substance abuse policy.  Smith has to pay $380,000, his base salary for 2005, and will have to pay a portion of his signing bonus.  If I could talk to Onterrio, I would ask one question - was the joint or snort or pill worth it?

Now we have another celebrity tangled up with The Whizzinator.  Actor Tom Sizemore, who co-starred in "Saving Private Ryan" and "Blackhawk Down" could face up to three years in prison for violating his probation by using The Whizzinator in drug tests.  The actor pleaded guilty in October to a felony charge of possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine) and was ordered to enroll in a drug program.  Sizemore is already free on bail pending appeal of a separate case - a 2003 domestic violence conviction involving ex-girlfriend Heidi Fleiss.  In interviews, the actor tells how he is clean, and has been for months.  Yet he still had to use The Whizzinator to pass his drug test?
