A woman at the nightclub Crobar on Saturday night was taken by 5 men, who, according to hospital and police reports, gang raped her before dumping her. Unable to remember the events of the evening, tests later confirmed the repeat rapes along with traces of Rohypnol and Progesterex (essentially a small sterilization pill)in her blood. This drug is now being used by rapists at parties to rape and sterilize their victims. Progesterex is available to vets for sterilization of large animals. Rumor has it that Progesterex is being used together with Rohypnol, the date rape drug. As with Rohypnol, all they have to do is drop it into the girl's drink. The next morning, the girl can't remember anything that happened the night before. Progesterex, which dissolves in drinks just as easily as Rohypnol, prevents the victim from conceiving. As a result, the rapist needn't worry about having a paternity test identifying him months later. The drugs effects are not temporary- THEY ARE PERMANENT! Progesterex was designed to sterilize horses. Any female who takes it will never be able to conceive. The bastards can get this drug from anyone who is in vet school or any university. It's that easy, and Progesterex is about to break out big every where. Believe it or not, there are even sites on the Internet telling people how to use it. Please COPY (NOT FORWARD) this to everyone you know, especially girls. Be careful when you're out, and DO NOT LEAVE YOUR DRINK UNATTENDED! Please make the effort to pass this onto all you know.. Guys, please inform all your female friends and relatives. This has now been reported to have been used on 360 women around London. Girls, keep your drinks safe at all times, and men, look after the girls you're with. Please pass this on... Thanks
This warning message is pure hoax: No drug called Progesterex exists, no pill for permanently sterilizing horses or other large animals is used by veterinarians or sold on the market, no campuses have reported any students becoming the victims of sterilization-by-drug, and the URL cited in the text never offered information "telling people how to use" Progesterex.
Here are links to sites that say this is a hoax
