SWATS co-founder responds to Ray Lewis' jabs, sticks to story

An expert on performance-enhancing drugs became the third source to tell The Baltimore Sun that deer antler spray could not carry the banned hormone some sellers say makes it effective.

"There's no way to deliver insulin-like growth factor one in a spray," said Charles Yesalis, who built a reputation as one of the foremost voices on PEDs during a 20-year career as a health and sport science professor at Penn State. "That's just nonsense that the people marketing it say so doofuses buy and use it."

An NFL spokesman did not answer an email message asking whether the league believes deer antler spray transmits IGF-1 to the human body but did acknowledge that there is no test in place to monitor players for elevated levels of the hormone. This means Lewis is embroiled in a controversy over a substance that does not appear to be an impermissible drug and that the NFL cannot test him for anyway.
