PRETORIA, South
Africa (AP) -- Police say they found two boxes of testosterone and
needles in the bedroom of Oscar Pistorius, the Olympian who has been
charged with murder in the shooting of his girlfriend.
Detective
Hilton Botha made the revelation Wednesday in testimony at the bail
hearing for the athlete charged with premeditated murder in the shooting
death of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.
The
discovery raises the possibility that the double-amputee Olympian and
Paralympian might have been using performance-enhancing substances.
Pistorius became the first Paralympian runner to compete at the Olympic Games in London last year.
Pistorius,
26, has insisted he shot the 29-year-old Steenkamp by mistake, fearing
there was an intruder in his gated and guarded luxury complex in the
capital, Pretoria.
