The Poojer Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 in his recovery from his torn bicep...something in deer velvet antler extract.....the evidence looks pretty damning to me
MDH Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 It wasn't Ray who took it, it was his buddies. Ray just stood there and watched...

boyst Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 I am thinking this means he has to come back next year to prove he was clean...
Heitz Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Just saw this one on NFLN - not sure what to make of it: http://nfl.si.com/2013/01/29/ray-lewis-ravens-deny-deer-antler-spray-report/?sct=uk_t2_a3 He was allegedly using deer antler spray from a company called S.W.A.T.S.? Strange. Though seems like deers antler spray would be easy to get and abundant in WNY! One thing is for sure Mitch Ross (SWATS owner) is an interesting character peddling some out-there stuff. Here's a 2011 article on Ross and his magic "chips" (with some Ray Lewis mentions) http://www.thepostgame.com/features/201104/tpg-exclusive-auburn-tied-controversial-supplement-company I think *I* need these things!
Corp000085 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 The bigger they are, the harder they fall. See "Simpson, Orenthal J."
RuntheDamnBall Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Supposedly the same stuff Melky Cabrera was using. I think it's supposed to promote faster healing and not muscle mass. I don't find that particular kind of "PED" that big of a deal, but let's not kid ourselves that these guys are generally trying to get whatever edge is available to them.
billsfan89 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 The outrage is laughable, people are mad Lewis isn't going to get punished for it. But how can you punish a guy who is retiring and using the appeals process to keep it from keeping him out of the super bowl? Its his last game you can't keep him out of it unless you have full proof evidence and it complies with the appeals process.
Prickly Pete Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Remember when Terrell Owens had that "miracle recovery" before that Philly Super Bowl?
Mr. WEO Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Well, humility isn't banned, so we know he wasn't using that.. Same for STFU--that's ok too, so it wan't that
Alphadawg7 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 in his recovery from his torn bicep...something in deer velvet antler extract.....the evidence looks pretty damning to me The substance does nothing to enhance performance, but allegedly can help heal faster. Its readily available over the counter. it is however a banned substance by the NFL although I don't really see why if it just helps heal faster. We give athletes all kinds of stuff to heal faster every day, so why ban an over the counter substance that does the same thing? Regardless, its still banned...so we will see how this plays out. Makes sense he would use it, trying to comeback for what will be the last games of his career. Then again, everyone condemned Merriman with the whole over the border thing alleging he had steroids again and was using them and yet nothing ever came of that. So who knows...
PIZ Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 It wasn't Ray who took it, it was his buddies. Ray just stood there and watched... Very good. I love it.
Alphadawg7 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 FWIW, the banned substance Ray is suspected of using is a substance that is tested for, and as of today, Ray has never failed a test nor tested positive for it or any other PEDs. Another reason I will wait before I pass judgement. Like I said earlier, everyone was ready to condemn Merriman for some alleged border incident yet it turned out to be nothing and Merriman has not had any recent failed PED tests either.
Max997 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) It would be great if he wasn't allowed to play in the Super Bowl but nothing will come from this bc Ray Lewis is simply allowed to do whatever he wants Edited January 30, 2013 by Max997
mitchmurraydowntown Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Ray will probably ascend above this mass of speculation.
Saint Doug Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Lance never tested positive for anything either. If you're going to allow IGF-1, you'll have to allow hGH too.
