TUES AM: Two plead guilty to dodgy prosthetics to beat drugs test

Nov 25 2008 By Andrew Jackson

TWO men whose company sold a prosthetic penis that helped men cheat in drug tests have pleaded guilty in court.

George Wills and Robert Catalano, who owned the California-based internet company Puck Technology, each admitted two conspiracy counts.

The device, called the Whizzinator, comes with a heating element and fake urine. US Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan’s office said the goal of it and another device called Number 1 was to help people pass drug tests.

The devices were sold from 2005 to 2008. The men will be sentenced in February and face up to eight years in prison, a fine of half a million dollars, or both.
