Baseball warns players away from deer-antler spray. CBC.
Dear antler spray may be the new baseball pseudo-steroid. Deer antler spray has been under the radar. No more. Bulkiness generated from ground up antlers may likely be picked up by conventional drug testing. Urine sample? Nope, blood sample!
Chemicals do not distinguish their source during testing. Just that the chemical is on board.
the spray, contains IGF-1, an insulin-like growth factor with “muscle-building” and “fat-cutting” effects.
IGF-1 is considered a performance-enhancer because it mediates human growth hormone levels in the body, but is not detectable by a urine test.
deer-antler spray can lead players to test positive for methyltestosterone, a chemical not listed as an ingredient.
Seems like growing muscle the old fashioned way is just too tough for some nowadays. No pain, no gain.
See:
I thought I’ve heard everything about faux body building…this one takes the cake! Maybe this is why so many of the White Sox players are playing like a bunch of Bambie’s lately.
Maybe they are embarassed because antler stubs are starting to pop out of ther heads.
Doesn’t mashed up antlers sound tasty?
Yum!
Grainy chew. Between your teeth. What a selling point.
