BENGALURU: Potency tests conducted on godman Swami Nityananda , 37, concluded “there is no evidence to suggest that the person is incapable of performing a sexual act”.

But the tests showed his levels of testosterone, as the sex hormone is known, were low: 12.50 ng/dl as against the normal 250 ng/dl (nanogram/ decilitre).

The report adds: “There are no clinical signs to suggest that the person was involved in unnatural sexual acts.” Also, the flaccid state penile doppler assessment showed “insignificant blood flow”. A copy of the report is available with TOI.

Interpreting the findings, doctors said: “The blood tests done don’t point towards any sexually transmitted disease. His fasting blood sugar is high (195 mg%).”

The findings of the tests conducted by Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute, Victoria Hospital, were submitted to chief judicial magistrate (CJM) Manjula, Ramanagaram, by the CID on Wednesday.

The panel came out with an overall report on September 15. Nityananda underwent penile doppler study, an ultrasound scan and gave his samples for biochemistry and microbiology tests.

The report was sent to the CID in a sealed cover, as per the directions of the Supreme Court , which directed the godman to undergo the tests early in September.

The godman refused consent for the penile doppler study with intracavernonal injection “which would have been useful to assess the vascular causes of impotence”, the report said. It also noted that the godman was taking drugs for diabetes and hypertension, “which may reduce potency”.

Medical panel

The medical team which examined Swami Nityananda comprised Dr CR Chandrashekar, professor and head of department of urology; Dr Veeranna Gowda KM, professor of medicine, Dr Chandrashekar H, head of the department of forensic medicine and toxicology and Dr Venkat Raghava S, psychiatry. The doctors’ conclusions were unanimous.

Impotency proved

Doctors have not concluded that swamiji is capable of performing a sexual act. They have noted that his blood samples show no sexually transmitted diseases, including herpes. They have also ruled out him having had unnatural sex. His testosterone levels are very low for an adult male. There is insignificant blood flow in the penis. The tests prove impotency.
