Alabama was winning 31-0 at halftime BUT Georgia came back Final Score Ala 41 Ga 30

Snake Oil salesmen….Where is the proof? Where are the blood tests? Are we to take their word for it? Free publicity and advertising. Check out the Auburn link. Auburn players were alledgedly using these products the year they won the championship. This is ludicrous. SI needs to pull the plug on this story. Check out the John Hopkins University link.

Actually, he did listen to an investigation: the one by the reporter. And all he needed was the the guy selling the stuff telling his story; I mean, surely a guy who has ignored two cease-and-desist orders from Alabama to stay away from its athletes and sells his product out of the back of a gym instead of the more mundane “in stores” method wouldn’t lie, would he?

Done deal!!

Do you really think players don’t get under the table money, or gifts, or preferential treatment when they are enrolled in big time programs…

I can almost gaurantee it happens at almost every major program.

And players are ALWAYS going to look for an edge. The dopers will always be ahead of the testers.. Look at Lance… The most tested athlete on the planet and he MAY have failed 1 drug test… MAYBE… and he had one of the most extensive doping programs in history.

With millions of dollars on the line with NFL contracts, players are going to do EVERYTHING possible to seperate themselves from the pack.

My point is, like with Lance, just because Bama may have cheated to win, doesn’t mean ND wasn’t cheating just the same.

Bear Bryant was the FIRST SEC Coach to have a black man on the team. He was not a racist. Just ask Sylvester Croom. To this day, he admires, respects, and loves the Bear. So, you can go somewhere else with that ish!

I am not surprised that anyone would not come out of the woodwork to diminish the efforts on the field, when it comes to Bama. The only way we can win, is to seek an unfair on-field advantage. That’s the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard! Apparently, the Pro Teams that draft these kids (as well as the drug testing department in the NFL) are unaware of their unfair advantage! As for the idiot that says that there is nothing else in Alabama but Football……I say to you, that when you have Alabama Football, you don’t NEED anything else!!!!

Yes, dear, as I posted years ago–long before this story broke–I write books for medical research organizations. So I’m familiar with these issues and the origins of hormones and the science behind them … as well as the voodoo science on some of these Frankensteinian projects. If you have any data on deer antler patches, I’d love to see it. That’s the operative word in my work: data.

“IGF-1 is a hormone similar in molecular structure to insulin. It plays an important role in childhood growth and continues to have anabolic effects in adults.”

Does that sound so different from anabolic steroids or HGH?

News flash… there are hormones in animals. What we call “steroids” are generally hormones with anabolic or androgenic effects.

IGF-1 is a natural, anabolic hormone that stimulates muscle growth.

Vijay Singh is being investigated for using the same substance.

Nothing may come of this but it sounds like deer antler spray has a lot in common with anabolic steroid use. If it does not offer an advantage why are all these athletes using it?

Who cares if two guys were OFFERD deer antlers to use during a game, there’s no evidence that they USED them, is there? Two guys on a team of 80+ didn’t determine the outcome of that game. Sorry, find something else to get your panties in a bunch about. Deer Antlers, Ben-gay, vitamins, milk, push-ups, and water can all give you a competitive advantage. You SEC haters are laughable and gullible as hell.

Yea, this isn’t a story.

Oh, wait a minute. More of you have commented on this than any other college football news story.

Where is Manti’s love life when you need it?

Auburn players used this in 2010

There they are……gosh I was wondering when the high and mighty Big 10 folks would chime in..
=================================

Hey, cheating and winning* is great as long as you don’t get caught eh?

Deer antler spray? Who cares if two players out of 22 spray some deer antler concoction on a sticker and plant it over their hearts before a game? Who cares if 22 players do it? You’re going to tell me any sane person thinks that spraying themselves with deer antler syrup or squirrel piss improves their game the way ingesting anabolic steroids does? Come on! Where is the data on this stuff? Oh … that’s right … there isn’t any.

The NCAA and the NFL are just banning everything from cough syrups to Adderall to stuff you buy over the counter at GNC … along with deer anter spray and frog poop. Show me some real performance-enhancing drugs, and I’ll get concerned. Until then … who cares?

Deb, you really have no clue about physiology, do you? Ever hear of hormones? Did you know that most pharmaceuticals/meds are concentrated forms of natrually occurring substances?
