An US internet entrepreneur has been forced to move his operations out of South Carolina after losing his appeal at the Supreme Court over a decision that ruled his business model illegal.
Kenneth Curtis was told his business, which involved him selling his own urine online, was not legal in the state and he is now having to relocate - all the way to North Carolina.
Curtis sold his urine to sportsmen and women who wanted 'clean' samples to use when taking drugs tests.
For just $69 an athlete would be able to procure a pouch of drug-free urine - complete with a discrete tube for the full judge-fooling urination experience. Meanwhile they would be free to continue pumping their bodies full of whatever banned substances they choose.
In his defence, Curtis' lawyer claimed he was merely selling a natural product and had no control over how it was being used. However, the State was unimpressed by his pleas and upheld the ban put in place in 1999.
