All about nothing. I'm tired of hearing about it. The only time we hear junk like this is recruiting time, when NSD gets near.
so how do they explain that none of our players have tested positive for any of said banned substances? or does that matter to them?I'm not sure this is going away during the offseason. Our local sports station (which Tim Brando is somewhat tied to) has now honed in on this and they are really hammering home the idea that Alabama is "cheating" with banned substances and this explains their dominance.
I actually appreciate that guys humor...assuming he's joking.Here is a barn fan's take on it from an SEC board.
"Clearly Alabama will be crushed for this and will have to renounce all of their titles and saban will be publicly executed, then we will melt down his iron heart and use the magical substance within to regrow the trees on toomers corner to twice their normal size.
Toilet paper will grow from their magical branches and when the Rolls are ripe they will produce cam juice which our players will drink, leading us to the next Dynasty in sports, Auburn University."
Here is the article on Auburn 3 months after they won the title.I seem to remember poking fun at auburn for using the bracelets with the chips on their championship team.
Their was a thread or two about it here on TF.
if you read the story, the players were taken in and used the spray right before game. Even if the spray contained any growth factor (doubtful), it has to be taken over a period of time concurrent with exercise...so how do they explain that none of our players have tested positive for any of said banned substances? or does that matter to them?
There was none, which is why the NCAA dropped the matter after investigation. These two bozos don't know what's in their "antler spray." They're simply reselling something produced and packed by someone else...IGF 1 cannot be detected in any test, but it is still illegal. IGF 1 is a peptide, which are now becoming the new designer ways to get bigger and stronger, but without the side affects and failing drug tests. Peptides are basically amino acids. There are dozens of sites that sell these on the internet, most in the usa and canada.
i wondered about that too. as if one could take a dose of hgh and then run into the gym and bench press 3x your normal weight. the whole story sounds stupid.if you read the story, the players were taken in and used the spray right before game. Even if the spray contained any growth factor (doubtful), it has to be taken over a period of time concurrent with exercise...

What these guys don't understand, is IGF 1 or any other peptide does not work when taken orally, it has to be penned and has to be kept cold in the fridge after mixing with sterile water, or the peptide breaks down and loses its potency. Regardless, it seems pretty stupid to record all these athletes and go on record on what they ordered. Who is going to buy their crap now. Not their once target market.There was none, which is why the NCAA dropped the matter after investigation. These two bozos don't know what's in their "antler spray."
