SUPER JUICE

by Rick Zednik

After watching his unprecedented five-goal scoring spree against Cameroon on Tuesday, World Cup officials wanted to know what Oleg Salenko had for breakfast.

Like Diego Maradona, the Russian striker had his number randomly selected before the game and was summoned for a drug test. Unlike the infamous Argentine, Salenko passed without a hint of trouble. Suddenly, many soccer followers were eager to learn the secret to his super-human performance.

It's a natural question with an unusual, yet all-natural, answer.

Salenko and his teammates have been taking daily doses of an herbal potion consisting of Siberian ginseng, schizandra, maral root, golden rot, Manchurian thorn tree, Chinese licorice, and rose. It is not as intoxicating as Stolichnaya, but this Russian concoction may also have potent effects.

Each morning, the Russian players took two tablespoons of the liquid known as Prime 1. Based on natural nutrients called "adaptogens," the potion is said to increase the body's work capacity, lessen the stress of competition, resist illness and help the body adapt to environmental changes. For example, prior to the opening of the World Cup, the team had a full practice - only hours after arriving in Palo Alto, California, from Russia.

"It's like a vitamin, "said U.S. team player Frank Klopas, who started using Prime1 while rehabilitating an injured leg early this year. "It gives you energy to practice two times a day." Klopas admitted he was initially hesitant about the odd nutrition program, but was convinced when it cleared drug tests. "I remember, my body was under a lot of stress. I was working very hard. When you're training twice a day at the highest level, you need all the help you can get."

Soccer players are not the only athletes to rely on Prime 1. The potion helped Russians win 11 gold metals at the Winter Olympics in and several Americans, including sprinter Andre Cason and football player Desmond Howard, formally of the Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers, have become regular users.
