"It is approved as an appetite suppressant to help reduce weight in obese patients when used short-term and combined with exercise, diet, and behavioral modification. It is typically prescribed for individuals who are at increased medical risk due to their weight"

I think that SAIDS and cycling SA should spend more of their budget targeting professional cycling where sponsors and prize money is at stake. This is a waste of time. Was probably an old ballie trying to lose weight.
