Are you a ski jumper, or just glad to see me?
The byline at the bottom of the article jumped out at me:
This is a professional journalist and doctor of microbiology. She has spent many many years in education and practice to reach her level of knowledge and ability. Then some editor says “hey I need 1500 words in a story we want you to write covering dudes injecting their junk for cosmetics and athletic performance enhancement. Can you have it done by Tuesday?”. I can just imagine her eyerolling as she accepted the task. Dr. Beth Mole, don’t worry. We still respect your credentials and achievements and understand you just have to pay the bills too.
Based on the other things she writes I’m not sure her editor asked. She tends to write pun filled articles about kind of gross and disturbing medical cases in the news. Other writers from the same publication tend to write different and less sensational kinds of science articles so I think there is some choice

I couldn’t tell if the article was full of innuendo, it I was just seeing what I wanted to see
The link is to the comments past the end of the article. Just FYI
I always hated sport competitions, but especially all the creepy predatory clothing restrictions
