Salesman: Bama players used spray

[joeybee12]

The company that says it provided deer-antler spray, a product that contains a banned substance, to Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis also sold its goods to members of the 2012 national championship Alabama football team, according to a co-owner of the company.

And Christopher Key, the SWATS co-owner, told ESPN's Joe Schad on Wednesday he personally witnessed about five Alabama players spray what he sold them into their mouths.

"I showed them how to use it," Key said.

Key said about 20 players purchased the spray at a hotel room in New Orleans leading into the BCS national championship game against LSU. And he said he sold about 20 more bottles to players at the apartment of an Alabama player 10 days before the game.

Sports Illustrated first reported the connection between SWATS, an Alabama-based company, and several SEC programs.

Before you SEC apologist start ranting, note that it was the 2012 BCS game, not this year's...so no, it's not spite.

1. I have a buddy that is really into lifting and knows all the steroids.

And he says this deer antler stuff has no real value and is just gimmicky crap. The active ingredient is such a tiny part of the formula as to be insignificant.

In other words, if they were using this to try to get an edge, they got scammed.
