The following article starts off talking about how the NFL (US National Football League) ordered the new head coach for the Oakland Raiders Hue Jackson to sever ties with a company that sells supplements.
The "news" article ends up sounding like an infomercial for the supplement company's product ?The Ultimate Spray? which they say contains deer antler velvet extract.
The Ultimate Spray is also reported to contain IGF-1 which is a type of growth factor that's banned by most organized sports bodies.
The way I read this, the supplement company S.W.A.T S. (Sports With Alternatives To Steroids) got free advertisement for their products.
The real problem is that this will appeal to those desperate enough to try anything that they think will improve their performance!

On another note, the latest issue of Sports Illustrated dated January 24, 2011 has about a 6-7 page article about LA and all the doping allegations. Doesn't look good for LA...

On another topic, I can just see tons of spam for deer antler velvet extract like the ones for Viagra et al.
