South African police say they found needles in Pistorius' bedroom along with the substance, which they initially named as testosterone.

Prosecutors later withdrew that statement identifying the substance and said it had been sent for laboratory tests.

Pistorius family spokesperson Lunice Johnston said on Wednesday that the athlete's lawyers confirmed that the substance is Testis compositum.

Meanwhile, the family of Reeva Steenkamp said Tuesday they have hired an attorney amid media frenzy over her death linked to her boyfriend, Pistorius.
