Funny how the thread starter put STEROIDS in the title now.

Gets more impact that way. Kinda like the SWAT guys using big names like Ray Lewis, BCSNC player using their products gets more exposure & shock value to their snake oil.

Hate to bust your bubble, but this too was also in the story:

quote:

However, a professor at Johns Hopkins University told the Baltimore Sun that, despite SWATS' claims, there isn't an acceptable scientific way that IGF-1 can be effectively delivered orally.

"If there were, a lot of people would be happy that they don't need to get shots anymore," Dr. Roberto Salvatori told the newspaper. "It's just simply not possible for it to come from a spray."

This happened in 2011-12. That's why this story is so laughable. Nothing can be proven or traced.

Also funny how all threads that imply Auburn and LSU also are implicated in this are locked or deleted. Only the thread with Alabama in the title is allowed to stay.

No, the 2011 season.

Christopher Key, a salesman for the company that allegedly sold deer antler spray to Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, said he sold the spray to Alabama and LSU football players during the 2011 college football season and has also helped players at Auburn university with "new age" supplements.

I could care less. 21-0 is still 21-0. No amount of deer antlers is ever going to take that off of me.

I hate to really bust your bubble but Harvard told its athletes otherwise 2011 LINK:

quote:

Harvard athletes were recently warned not to take a supplement called Antler Velvet Max in an email from Brant D. Berkstresser, Harvard’s head athletic trainer and the assistant athletic director for sports medicine....

Berkstresser wrote that the supplement has been credited with increasing testosterone above normal levels, resulting in failed drug tests for collegiate and professional athletes.



Honestly as I said before, I don't really care but will continue to play along with upset bama fans if you guys want me too.

Well…I'll take the opinion of a professor who teaches at the leading medical university in the world over some second rate athletic trainer who coaches at Harvard.

And this little tidbit right here:

quote:

That tidbit doesn't mean shite because none of these alleged Alabama players failed their drug tests, either before or after the game.

So sorry.

This is akin to giving a straight A student a pet rock and claiming the reason he made straight A's the following semester was because of that pet rock.

Snake oil shister.

LOL

no.

The IGF-1 cant even transfer to the user through the mouth. If those athletes were failing drug tests it was from other sources of HGH or actual IGF injections.

Additionally, pretty sure the only way to test for IGF is through blood, which the NCAA and NFL don't do normally

You can take PE steroids and still pass drug tests. This has been documented over and over again.

This is the SEC Rant right? How many times did you post in the ATPB?

I'm not a biochemist but others believe it can. You can write the author of the article and debate their research. Here is some info I found:

Can IGF-1 be taken orally?

The surprising answer is: "Yes, it can." After digging through the archives of various pharmacological journals I eventually came up with a 14-year-old study by Kimura et al. (Kimura. 1997), who, in 1997, investigated the bioavailability of orally administered recombinant human insulin-like growth factor I (rhIGF-1) [the attribute "recombinant" indicates that this is synthetic human IGF-1] in adult rats (I deliberately underlined the "adult", here because in various neonatal or new-born / very young mammals the intestinal permeability is elevated to allow for the absorption of larger peptides from the mother's milk). The results of this study (cf. figure 1), I must admit, did really surprise me. If you add up (note: if you think I miscalculated, you probably just added up the percentages from figure 1 and forgot that when you absorb 35% there is obviously less IGF-1 left, of which, in a second step. another 17% will be absorbed, etc.) the amounts of IGF-1 that reached circulation (i.e. became "bioavailable") via the three different parts of the digestive tracts of the rats, the critters ended up with roughly 50% of the orally administered radio-labeled 125I-rhIGF1 actually getting into their blood stream:

Figure 1: Bioavailability of orally administered rhIGF-1 with and without peptidase inhibitors.
