Report: Ray Lewis Used Banned Substance To Recover From Torn Triceps

January 29, 2013 1:26 PM

BOSTON (CBS) — Ray Lewis’ final season and Baltimore’s run through the AFC to the Super Bowl has been described as destiny or a fateful miracle, but it appears as though Lewis’ recovery from a torn triceps was aided by the use of a banned substance.

Sports Illustrated reported that among Lewis’ many treatments for his torn triceps, suffered Oct. 14, was a deer-antler spray, which is banned by the NFL. Philly.com published quotes from the SI article from phone conversations between Lewis and Mitch Ross, the owner of “Sports with Alternatives to Steroids” (S.W.A.T.S.). According to the quotes, Lewis told Ross to “just pile me up and just send me everything you got, because I got to get back on this this week.”

The recovery regimen included 10 deer-antler pills per day and an under-the-tongue deer-antler spray every two hours. The deer-antler products are described as containing IGF-1, which is banned by the NFL. The report explains that IGF-1 is what human growth hormone is converted into when it reaches the liver.

The article said that Lewis “walked away without comment” after the reporters asked him about the deer-antler spray and pills. Lewis did admit to having some contact with S.W.A.T.S., including the use of their holographic stickers for healing.

Lewis rejoined the Ravens to begin the playoffs, recording 44 tackles in three games. He’s led the Ravens in total tackles in all three games leading up to the Super Bowl. He had 14 tackles in the AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.

He also played a role in killing two people. I cannot be shocked by any negative press I hear about Mr. Lewis.

I was just on the golf channel page and it says Vijay Singh has admitted to using this stuff too.

Ouch, gives ya that gutstabbing pain. What a stain on his white suit of a career, if true. I wonder what will happen to a guy who was so beloved he could get away with murder.

sporkgod50 · 01-29-2013, 07:35 PM

Any hunters out there experienced super human strength from licking deer antlers? Maybe it works like liking frogs.

WE_ARE · 01-29-2013, 07:36 PM

The greatest defensive player of all time..........

Allegedly.

I wouldn't be surprised if he use banned substances, but this screams vindictiveness so clearly, it's funny. Mr. Ross claims to have contacted Lewis way back in October. Why is he just now bringing it up unless their deal went bad?

Does it matter anyway? Not really. His career was already stained, and we all know Roger Goodell doesn't have the guts to ban him from the super bowl. Then he would be next on Lewis' hit list.

All I know is he should stay away from any New Orleans bars this weekend.

Anyone out their of the mind that if these substances do not have steroid like affects, and only aid in a sped up recovery, what is it to the NFL if players use various substances to heal their bodies?

Every year deer shed their antlers. Know who eats them? Freaking Squirrels. Scientists have proven that if you starve squirrels of deer antlers for 1 year they lose the ability to climb trees. He'll they're so juiced on antlers, they practically take on cars head on. Sometimes they win!
