Do you think Ray Lewis used Deer Antler Spray?

Super Bowl 2013 -- Ray Lewis of Baltimore Ravens reportedly connected to PED - ESPN

On NFL Network, they said he is not said to have used it, but talking about using it.

Cmon it is not just him. I would venture a guess that at least 80% of these guys are on something. Lewis is the Bonds like example.

If not, explain this...

If not, explain this...

I think what he was the night after winning the Super Bowl was completely different than what he is now. I remember not long after the whole murder incident, Ed Reed (I think) was on some interview and said that whatever happened that night, Ray Lewis changed who he was. He stopped hanging out with those guys and is just a different person. Reed said he didn't know if it was Ray that killed the guy or not, but he sees how it changed his life.

I think because of that, he tried his best to stay out of controversy.

I don't give a shit. Maybe someone needs to tell me more about deer antler spray.

I think he shanked those guys back in 2000 and got away with murder. He, unlike his friends, was not acquitted. He merely worked out a plea to turn rat.

Blood of the victim was found in his limo. The clothes he wore that night were never recovered. Circumstantial? Yes, but poorer folk have been convicted with less.

 

[ForkEmBucky]

He wasn't acquitted because he was never charged with murder. The other two were always the suspects. He was charged with obstruction, or something thereabouts, for originally saying that he didn't know anything.

I don't give a shit. Maybe someone needs to tell me more about deer antler spray.

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing.

What Is Deer Antler Spray? Behind The SWATS Substance Ray Lewis Reportedly Used

The spray is not as well-known as anabolic steroids, HGH (Human Growth Hormone), or a slew of other popular PEDs (Performance Enhancing Drugs), but NFL policy bars players from using it, as it contains a substance banned by the league called IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1).

Lewis, who has never tested positive for the little-known substance, allegedly sprayed deer antler spray -- also known as deer antler velvet -- under his tongue every two hours and took 10 deer antler pills daily to boost his recovery from a triceps injury sustained during an October game against the Dallas Cowboys.

I'm not so sure I see it as a bad thing, if he was using it to help him recover from the injury.

I want to believe he didn't use it. Same with Lance Armstrong.

I think he used it. In a broad sense, I don't really care if athletes use drugs like this. I'm fine with drugs that accelerate healing but I'm opposed to those that can give you a performance boost over the competition.
