I am not sure what all to make of this story.

WTF???

Umm...I hope this isn't a serious violation....

 

[planomateo]

Who would have guessed that deer antler juice would be the latest reason as to why LSU couldn't cross the 50 yd line....

 

[Swamptick]

There were no violations reported in that story. Just the implication that there may be something more to the issue.

Those things work about like those "energy" bracelets that are bullsh*t.

Tru7h!

Super sketch. Apparently an LSU player is linked to them to. It's kind of scary that despite UA (and other schools) telling their players not to go to that lab, that a few did anyway .. Hope this is a lesson to anyone else considering it ..

SWATS is a scam. They need to quit giving this idiot free advertising.

A guy that owns a "business" similar to SWATS went on Mark Cuban's reality show (where people would pitch business ideas to him and a few others) and Cuban completely destroyed everything about this stuff.

Yea I had never heard of them or this story until today. I guess I was oblivious to it somehow since 2009 or just forgot altogether. But after reading about this SWATS company its just nuts. It's like one of those late night info scams our elders become unfortunate victims of. The fact this clown walks around video recording with pen cameras for obvious black mail (or entrapment) is fishy by itself. This guy needs to take a hike with his snake oil shit and the fact he is based nearby makes it nauseating.

Sounds like a publicity stunt .. I don't necessarily doubt SI's findings but it seems awfully convenient that this story comes to light a few days before the Super Bowl/Ray Lewis's retirement party. Looks like SWATS is playing their cards right.

Maybe under a new name, but this clown got some free publicity off Auburn's 2010 NC. An article showed up on Yahoo Sports then, and he claimed all the key Auburn players then used his products. He posted what amounted to an informational on this site in 2011, but it ws quickly taken down.

Could be wrong, but I believe everything about this is total BS and SI got snookered into giving the loser loads of free publicity.

It is a gym close to me in Gardendale. The owner is shady and I believe at one time got in trouble for roids. Years ago he sold a bunch if memberships to his gym and then folded up operations. The juice in question contains a banned substance

 

[Duder]

Yawn.

The chips aren't banned, just stupid.

The IGF-1 in the deer antler stuff is banned but isn't detectable. Who cares?
