Generex's BaBOOM![TM] Energy Spray provides safe, legal "kick"

WORCESTER, Mass. -- While the public disgrace of New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez has shocked the sports world, the alleged use of performance enhancing drugs hardly makes A-Rod unique among his peers - do Roger Clemens, Jose Canseco, Mark McGwire, or Sammy Sosa ring a bell?

While increased strength, bulk, and speed can raise an athlete's performance to elite stardom level, illegal steroids are clearly not the answer. And while time in the weight room may guarantee 40 home runs, using BaBoom![TM] could help A-Rod achieve power numbers of "Ruthian" dimensions.

In fact, we are so confident that A-Rod will get a lift from BaBoom![TM], we are willing to offer him a year's supply of BaBoom![TM] for free, as long as he steers clear of any illegal performance enhancing drugs.

Generex today sent a letter with the free BaBOOM![TM] offer to Alex Rodriguez, copying Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig, Players Association COO and Health Policy Advisory Council member Gene Orza, and Yankee owners George, Hank and Hal Steinbrenner.

Generex Biotechnology Corporation (Nasdaq:GNBT) (www.generex.com), the leader in drug delivery for metabolic diseases through the inner lining of the mouth, reminds A-Rod and all those looking for a performance-enhancing edge that Generex's BaBOOM![TM] Energy Spray is available - legally - at convenience stores and drug stores and online at www.baboomenergyspray.com.
