Not sure if anyone else saw this.

I sure as hell hope none of our kids were dumb enough to try this crap.

Discuss.

I don't think it should be banned. I see it as no big deal.

So you're fine with HGH? That's pretty bad stuff.

I like how the SEC schools sent letters. That should scare them!

Yep, I'm ok with it.

They're all cheaters!

I just read the story. It wasn't this year's team that beat ND, it was last year's team that beat LSU. Non-story.

So dismissive fish. So the story is from two years ago and that is a non-issue? Has the NCAA punished anyone within two years of a violation? Ever? Is there a statute of limitations that I am not aware of?

I don't get why it isn't relevant because it happened last year.

I just think the whole PEDs story is nothing. What do I care what someone puts into thier body. I don't.

What if those persons were playing your football team and had an unfair advantage because of it?

I'm sure it has happened, and I'm sure a lot of players on the teams I root for have used too, including UM.

What I want to know is who the f&*$ had the idea to use deer antler spray (i know some chemicals in it for human performance). I mean who thought, "Ya I'm going to try using this deer spray to see if it helps my abilities"

LOL, 13. It doesn't work that way. Someone finds out what is in deer antlers and then sees it was a HGH in it. So that causes them to use the stuff, it's not a pill, it's not injected so they thik it is ok. Problem is that it's not ok...

From what I have read that is the purpose of it. When I first heard of it I thought it was something that hunters used or something. Turns out it is a PED similar HGH. I do not think it has any other purpose.

Some hunters that run hunting outfitter camps do use this stuff. They feed this stuff to the deer in special feed that they plant all over their property. Then when hunters buy hunting vacations through these outfitters they arrive and are treated to huge deer with huge antlers.

So Ray Lewis has a big 'rack'.
