@FinFan68 …

Maybe instead of making the drug policy simple, they should try making it logical. These guys are in a business where it’s imperative that they be able to recover, handle pain, and make the most of their workouts. The loss of half a step can mean the loss of a career worth millions.

I agree with The Chu that just because something is natural doesn’t mean it’s safe. Ma huang (ephedra) is an herbal remedy used effectively in Chinese medicine, but it’s also deadly if misused. Natural remedies should only be banned if they pose a health risk to users–and if that’s the case, the league should explain the risk to players. Otherwise, players should be free to develop their own regimens.

Why don’t you tell these guys the deer antler was really ground up sweat socks? How the heck would they really know, and who really knows the label is accurate as to what’s in the product? They probably just go out and grind up chicken bones and say it’s deer antler. They’ll believe anything and it would be a heck of a lot cheaper and easier to get. All in the mind.

Yawn. PED stories are stale.

Make the drug policy simple. If a player tests positive for a banned substance, they get suspended (providing the tests are reliable). If a player wants to use something and is unsure, why not just ask the team/league? If they say no, don’t take it.

It won’t come fast enough for the deer. They’re sick and tired of waking up in a bucolic meadow to find some 300 pound guy with bad breath gnawing on their antlers.

Just because it is IGF-1 also doesn’t mean it should be banned. Gatorade replenishes, should it be banned.

I have been testing this product for 2 months to see if it helps to control back pain and help recovery with my workouts. No difference at all, SWATS could be sweet tarts in a bottle and until the NFL can prove otherwise this is stupid.

why cant they just focus on the lockout and making more money, idiots

Without having information on what IGF-1 is, I hate the justification of “it’s all-natural.” Just because something is natural, or is found in nature, doesn’t mean it’s safe. Late-night “miracle products” use this line all the time.

Rattlesnake venom is “all-natural” and is deadly…

Coming from a DIE HARD Saints fan….. Heath, SHUT UP ALREADY!!!!!! I was upset with Brees for being so vocal about the lockout until i truly understood it and now it doesn’t bother me, but I swear every single time I see you on ESPN I turn the channel because if I dont i inevitably get mad beyond belief. The Payton philosophy has always been “keep your mouths shut toward” and this guy cant seem to stay off ESPN or stop making comments in the media. You’re a fullback dude… a dime a dozen! Cheers

Sounds like something Rex Ryan resevres for his Hush Puppies

Sounds like a product you’d find on the Chotchkie’s menu, right underneath Extreme Fajitas.

Kind of how like DMT is found everywhere in nature, including your body, yet is as illegal as a drug can get. Freedom? Yeah, right.
