			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="highslide" onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://bitethenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/00091.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-914" title="0009" src="http://bitethenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/00091.jpg" alt="" width="290" height="200" /></a>Sold as a harmless Scottish fruit drink, Irn Bru has found itself under threat after allegations that each can contains, “almost 10 times the legal amount of the male hormone testosterone”.<span id="more-428"></span></p>
<p>In a court case that could bankrupt its producers, Susie Beazer [pictured left] of 9, Union Street, Dundee, claims that drinking Irn Bru for over 20 years has had a detrimental effect on her health.</p>
<p>Known cruelly as “Beazer the Geezer”, Suzie told our reporter, “Like all Scottish children growing up in the 1980’s I was virtually forced to drink Irn Bru on a daily basis. My mammy even had a little rhyme for it. If I was out playing with me pals she would call out the windie…”</p>
<p>“Come on in yer wee bastard Sue,<br />
Everyone’s waiting for their fruity Bru “.</p>
<p>“If I’d known then that body builders were secretly drinking it to build up their small parts I would never have touched the stuff”</p>
<p>Prosecution lawyer Stephen Pritchard claims that Irn Bru has ruined his client’s life and that they would be seeking a “substantial payment” from the Glasgow based fizzy drinkary.</p>
<p>“You only have to look at the poor girl to see what a devastating effect Irn Bru has had on her life. She used to be a pretty wee thing. Look at her now for fuck’s sake….. She’d stop traffic.”</p>
<p>Working for the defence Sir Leonard Crowther believes that the whole thing has been blown out of all proportion.</p>
<p>“A lot of women become more masculine looking as they get older. It’s the process of ageing I’m afraid. I suggest that Ms Beazer needs to accept that she is no longer a spring chicken. Anyway, some men prefer the older women. I’d still give her one.”</p>
<p>The case continues on Monday.</p>
<p>.</p>
