Russian President Vladimir Putin is so worried about enemies getting a look at his poop that he reportedly employs a special team of people who retrieve his excrement wherever and whenever he travels.

The 69-year-old strongman relies on Federal Protection Service agents to pick up his waste when he goes abroad and ferry it back to Russia where it can be disposed of discretely, according to recent reports in French news magazine Paris Match.

Why all the sneakiness and subterfuge? Putin — who many Russian analysts and insiders claim is suffering from cancer — is nervous that foreign intelligence services could gauge his health by analyzing his waste matter. His fears are not far-fetched: Experts in fecal analysis say a stool sample can give many insights into an individual’s overall health and diet, including medical treatments the person is undergoing.

This actually isn’t unusual for world leaders. There are reasons to protect access to DNA.

Man, imagine ending up assigned to that...

You were committed, you worked your ass off, you did well. And they say "pretend he's a dog".

Or do they volunteer?

Oddly it seems to be the source of a lot of the things republicans post here.

Yep, that paper really isn't a reliable place to go for news.

Fear of being cloned. Quite understandable. You can never know who's real and who's a clone.
