CBS Report: Alabama players took deer antler spray, other banned substances before 2012 BCS Championship

The deer antler spray and other nonsense are banned substances, and were given out for free.  As the article notes, this will amount to nothing.

Apparently a male stripper was among the folks who gave the players this deer antler spray.

No wonder 'Bama won, Their players were taking illegal animal spray from male strippers while the other team was mourning fake dead girlfrends.

Best not to bring him up.  Otherwise somebody is sure to make a post about Craig James allegedly killiing five fake on-line hooker girlfriends using red deer antler spray while at SMU.

Active link to the story, if I am correct - (LINK)

"An Alabama official told SI that S.W.A.T.S. had been sent two cease-and-desist letters by the program, and Auburn and LSU have sent similar letters -- letters the company displays in its offices -- after similar run-ins with the company."

Why do I have this image of this company's sales training being something out of  Mel Brooks' "History Of The World: Part I"? 

Be correct. Be polite. Push the deer antler spray - we're stuck with it.

It's my understanding that it will amount to nothing because there isn't really anything to pursue. The university has been pro-active about keeping these guys away from their players, so there's no institutional issue. And the players involved, as I understand it, aren't on-field contributors, plus we're talking about snake oil remedies like deer antler (yes, contains small amounts of IGF-1, but tiny amounts that would do nothing even at 100x the dosages given to the players), light beams, and holographic stickers.

Aside from the total weirdness aspect, there really isn't anything to see here from a competitive standpoint. At least that's what I've gathered from reports that actually follow up with who did what and what these things supposedly do.

A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.

First, they spike LSU's Gatorade and a Honey Badger goes bat-shit crazy?

Then they substitute it for Te'O's GF's spray tan, causing her to become invisible and eventually expire?

Imagine the justice we could weild with such a weapon.

Sparty and ohio tears would quench the parched thirst of many a midwestern farmer's plot.

Kickstarter anyone?

LOL best part of that article:

"The North Korean soccer association attempted to cover its ass by claiming that its deered up athletes were undergoing a traditional Korean treatment given to people after they are struck by lightning. Yes, they expected FIFA officials to believe that five members of the team were simultaneously struck by lightning and had to receive treatment that just happened to have a performance enhancing side effect."

(Please click through and give them a page view.  It's pretty funny.)

If aOSU gets wind of this, they might start mistakenly spraying themselves with deer urine. If their basketball team ever plays Fairfield Unviersity (Stags) the result would be hysterical/banned in 12 countries. Mmmmm, doe urine.
