Vijay Singh’s career in jeopardy over deer antlers

For most of us, the stuff we see behind the convenience store checkout counter is cause for amusement such as bottles of stuff guaranteeing a larger penis or more stamina like five hours of energy and clean, sparkling breath. People of good sense generally don’t spend their money on this snake oil but apparently good salesmanship can overcome good sense.
Vijay Singh
This brings us to poor Vijay Singh. If you haven’t heard of him, Vijay is one of America’s top golfers. He’s won lots of events, including three of professional golf’s “majors.” Vijay, however, is in trouble for using a product called Deer Antler Spray. From what I’ve learned this stuff is scraped from the antlers of young deer and supposedly has a chemical similar to human growth hormone, which means it’s banned from sports.
It’s easy to see how someone looking for a way to improve their performance might read a label promising the vim and vigor of a young male deer. Who wouldn’t want to run and mate like a young deer? Now that promise, however, has been causing trouble for Vijay Singh and Raven’s linebacker Ray Lewis. Ray denies he used Deer Antler Spray.
All of this got me to thinking. If Ray Lewis and Vijay Singh could use, or allegedly use, the scrapings of deer antlers, why couldn’t I put a jar under my neighbor’s slobbering boxer and sell it to gullible athletes? Boxers are tough and thickly muscled. After all, what athlete doesn’t want to be be tough and thickly muscled? Boxers run fast as well, in the event you didn’t know that, and, finally, I have never seen “boxer slobber” on a banned substance list.
My apologies to Vijay and any other athletes who were sucked in by the promise of great results from deer antler scrapings. No doubt Joe’s Original Boxer Slobber would have saved them lots of grief and embarrassment.

Lol Dale. I have 8 dogs, most of them German shepherds, and I’m afraid to show them Joe’s post. They hate boxers.

I’ve been on MadMike to put me on a quota but he doesn’t want to overexpose me. Not that after a dose of Joe’s Original Boxer Slobber I’d mind being exposed.

This whole deer antler thing is being sworn to by a number of athletes. There is a small company in Birmingham that is producing the stuff and making a bunch of money with it. Does it work, hell if I know. I think this may be one of those things like the copper bracelets. If you really believe it is helping you, it just might be a mind over matter thing. If you don’t mind paying all of that money it don’t matter. My doctor is a sports medicine MD, and he says there is absolutely no scientific proof that it works. I’ll take his word for it. Joe, should I ask him about your Boxer’s slobber?

This thing could take off. An article a day on MMA with plugs for my Boxer Slobber inserted here and there.
I’m gonna be rich.

I don’ thing you can really put deer antler spray into the same category as steroids. With that said, I haven’t personally tried it so I’ only speculating as to its effectiveness.
