Ray Lewis possibly linked to PED use. Spraying deer antler extract into his mouth?

'Even if Ray Lewis did use deer antler spray his body would have never absorbed the banned substance its manufacturer says gives the product its potency, a Johns Hopkins professor said.

Dr. Roberto Salvatori, who runs a lab studying growth hormone deficiency and has been on the Hopkins faculty since 1998, said there is no scientifically accepted way to deliver IGF-1 orally.

?If there were, a lot of people would be happy that they don?t need to get shots anymore,? he said. ?It?s just simply not possible for it to come from a spray.?'

who cares.  there isn't a drug in the world these mutants wouldn't take to continue to play football and entertain the masses.  they love the game too much to care, and we love the game too much to care for them.

Exactly.  And why in the hell are people even paying attention to this "doctor".  It's ridiculous.

excellent post!

I have no strong opinion on Ray Lewis either way, but it was pretty pathetic to see ESPN trot out every analyst to vociferously defend the future ESPN employee Lewis against this story. The matter of fact way they reported the A-Rod story provided a nice contrast.

Lucky the Ravens made the Super Bowl otherwise this story would not have been regurgitated by Sports Illustrated after two years.

The NFL doesn't even test for HGH.  So there is no way they could suspend him even if he were taking it through needles.

It is out here in the media, but probably not with the team.

My advice was to have Kwame Harris bitch slap him.

well this thread is fun.

SF is gonna stomp baltimore, so get your fun in now Ravens fans.

Keep calling for a Ravens loss.  You're bound to be right one day.

this is the first time i've called for a ravens loss? i just think SF is way too good of a team. kaepernick plays way too fast for baltimore's smash-mouth defense.

Lose any money on it?

[stevewizzle]

nah. 

i was just upset my pats lost.  glad SF made it a game tho.
