A Brazilian Sports Tribunal has reversed the doping verdict that was placed on Brazilian soccer star Romario after he admitted using the hair loss medication Propecia that contains the banned substance Finasteride, which masks the use of steroids. They have accepted that he was not taking performance drugs.
Finasteride in Propecia has some record of success in halting the progress of male pattern baldness and sometimes reversing it. Romario and all other balding sports stars will now have to seek other ways to solve their baldness problems, while those less competitive souls will be able to take advantage of the products. |
