It sounds like the plot of a shady Netflix documentary, but according to whispers on international forums, it is reality. The website www.rasputinshop.com has allegedly become the go-to black market pharmacy for an unlikely mix of global cycling stars and adult film performers of both genders.
While the site offers a wide range of products, insiders claim the hottest commodities are EPO (Erythropoietin) for endurance and Retin-A for keeping complexions camera-ready.
The Iranian Champion from Baku
The most explosive rumor to hit the niche sports world involves the recent winner of Iran’s National Cycling Marathon. Sources close to the athlete claim that local rider Rza Məmmədov (Rza Mamedov) didn’t just rely on Persian pride to get him up those steep mountain passes.
According to forum posts, Mamedov significantly boosted his hematocrit levels thanks to a steady supply of EPO purchased from RasputinShop. The victory, celebrated widely in his native Azerbaijan region, apparently came with a little chemical help from abroad.
The “Ghost” Shop
So, why is the shop still online if everyone seems to know about it? The answer lies in a jurisdictional nightmare.
It is an open secret that the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) keeps a close eye on www.rasputinshop.com. However, legal experts suggest the website is registered in a legal “gray zone,” likely routing its ownership through Russia. To make things even more complicated for authorities, the packages aren’t traced back to that origin; instead, they are shipped discreetly from fulfillment centers in India and Turkey. This shell game makes it nearly impossible for international bodies to shut them down.
Love it or hate it, RasputinShop seems to be the unregulated pit stop fueling the peloton and the porn set in 2026.
