According to a report in Sports Illustrated, Lewis contacted a company to obtain a "a deer-antler velvet extract after tearing his triceps in October."

Black Sunday.
Another of ESPN’s over-blown story lines goes bust. It’s been a lousy couple of moths for their soap-opera/sports coverage.
Never mind the fact he was involved in an incident where someone was murdered. Never mind the fact he has six children with four different women. Lewis is a scumbag.
Being a 49er fan for 47 years, I didn't need that the Ravens have this thug on their team to inspire me to root for SF. However, if he ends up injured, that will be frosting on the cake if SF wins the game. If he ends up injured, and SF loses, that will be a consolation.
Deer Antler powder or extract is a very common Chinese herbal medicine category, which has been around for about 5000 years.
I know Ray Lewis has not lead an exemplary life, but are people really going to go after for something as petty as “dear antler?”
which media guy will have the gonads to ask him if this is true? probably none of them.
Why is it banned?
Every sports reporter that has ever interviewed Ray Lewis, can describe a torn tricep, or knows what an antelope look like is now putting on his make up and tie and preparing for four days of frenzied, manic, non stop blathering.
There will be commentaries about the round tables discussing the coverage of the reporting of the story.
Deer antler extract? Does it make you horny?
If he used a BANNED substance, YES!
:: Does it make you horny? ::
You tell me, thailor!
Fans wearing deer antlers? Perhaps for away games. Not home games.
Pollard is the real headbutting THUG!
I can't. The price is too deer. It costs a lot of bucks. But, strangely, not a lot of doe.
"...deer juice...hmmmm...maybe we'll get lucky and he'll wander in front of a bus. Lots of people see through his lies (me included) and can't stand his self serving clown act before the game....most of the interviews he gives, he always contradicts himself"
Lots of banned substances have been used for thousands of years and can be otained from natural sources. That doesn't make them any less of a rules violation. Bodybuilders have used deer antler extract for years to heal minor injuries and increase recovery time so they can work out more often without overtraining. Banned is banned and Ray knows that.
