Drug made me grow DD boobs

- By BRAD CHADWICK news@ sundayspor­t. co. uk

A MAN who grew big DD cup breasts after taking medicine has been awarded £ 1.6m compensati­on.

Austin Pledger, 20 ( above), was prescribed anti- psychotic drug Risperdal in 2002 but claimed he was never warned it would give him man- boobs.

When the U. S. Food and Drug Administra­tion eventually approved it for use by children in 2006, it issued new label informatio­n that said the drug contained high levels of a hormone which promotes breast developmen­t.

Austin, who grew 44DD knockers, had surgery to have them removed.

His lawyer Thomas Kline said Pledger’s successful case could see more people suing the makers of the drug, Janssen Pharmaceut­icals.

He said: “This trial provided for the first time a public window into the real risks of this drug.” IN J. M. Barrie’s novel, Peter Pan ruthlessly ‘ thinned out’ the Lost Boys when they got too

Police found Yevgeny Borisikov in a “lake of blood” in the kitchen of his flat. His head was almost completely severed.

Detectives had little difficulty finding the 25-year-old’s attackers – they simply followed bloody footsteps to a bin store where HEAD CASE: Dr Canavero the three men had fallen asleep. When the trio sobered up enough to be interviewe­d, the bizarre story emerged.

Narcotics

“Mr Borisikov, who had been drinking heavily and was also apparently under the influence of strong narcotics, volunteere­d to let his friends perform a head transplant on him.

“They appear not to have considered whose body they were going to transplant Mr Borisikov’s head onto. In fact, their planning got no further than severing his head.

“Inevitably, Mr Borisikov died. We now have the headache of the for I’LL HAVE IT RARE: The bloody scene after Borisikov ( right) let his pals perform their ‘ surgery’ sorting paperwork this case.

“It does not help that the three suspects were blind drunk at the time and have little recollecti­on of how events unfolded.”

Beyond the alcohol- fuddled imaginings of Russian dipsomania­cs, the idea of head transplant­s is not that fanciful.

Italian surgeon Sergio Canavero, from the Turin Advanced Neuromodul­ation Group, claims the Frankenste­instyle procedure will soon be ready.

New Scientist magazine reported that Dr Canavero plans to announce the project at the American Academy of Neurologic­al and Orthopaedi­c Surgeons conference in Annapolis, Maryland, in June.
