Ray Lewis PED Allegations (Merged)

[Boulderraven]

Ravens going to win now, like all the controversey that surrounded him and the team in 2000, eerily similar.

[Justlovemybirds]

Honestly, I don't care what players take. I just want them on the field. If HGH or Deer Antler Therapy makes you a better player? Great, take it. Just don't get caught and make yourself unavailable to play.

Everyone on this board is fooling themselves if they don't think hat 70-80 percent of players aren't on HGH in the NFL.There is NO TESTING, I repeat, NO TESTING and it WORKS. Why wouldn't you use it?

Doesn't make it any better (and the number may be lower) but it's probably true.

[Ravens44]

Unless a failed test can be shown, this is just a smearing campaign or a make $$ campaign, or both.

This^^
The talkingheads were all proven to be buffoons and CAN'T STAND IT!
All the haters of the Ravens, Joe, and Ray CAN'T STAND IT!
Absolute CRAP will spew from the media and bullshit will be made up, dug up just to throw ANY kind of negative light on Ray and the Ravens.
It is the ONLY thing they have left.
They have all been shown to be wrong, again and again and AGAIN.
They are in desperation mode and it shows how low people will go due to their hatred.

No weapon.
I actually like the Niners, but I have had enough, too.
I hope the Ravens blow the Niners out of the FUCKING stadium and shut them out.
Then when this is all over, Ray can sue those fucking bastards for slander since he has not failed any of the NFL's drug tests.

Justin Smith magically healed too I guess.

The media is either incredibly gullible, incredibly lazy, or incredibly dishonest, or perhaps all three, to propagate something like this as a big story without checking any of it. You watch some of the "reporters" and "experts" on TV talking about this and you just cringe.

Every time a mouse clicks they hear $$...

Mountain meet molehill. Moving on....

Harbaugh said Ray has never failed any of the random drug test and hopes this doesn't distract from the work he has done.

Neither did Lance Armstrong.

And the league doesn't do random PED testing on everyone, just those who fail the big test before training camp.

Cycling =/= NFLPA. The NFLPA and the NFL agreed on certain testing which Ray has passed. Until a positive test is shown, they can't say Ray is guilty.

These guys will go to print with anything. They don't even check. Later they'll just say 'whoops' and try to blame it on some other reporter.

[HoustonRaven]

Any way you slice it....this doesn't sound good at all.

It's going to hang over Ray and the team for this entire week.

And frankly, so many people have wanted to believe Ray was on something that this will be a big black mark on the ending of his career whether this is true or not.

Very disappointing IMHO....very.

Assuming the tape is authentic, very disappointing.

SMH.

[Justlovemybirds]

Ray was asked about the Murders and basically said it's not the time

Warren Sapp was pissed it was asked (as if it wouldn't be)

SMH.

is the tape not from two years ago? Or was he dumb enough to be recorded on tape twice?

There's one big test at the beginning of the training camps. They test for everything. If you pass that one, you're good for the next year. Fail it, and you're subject to random testing.

It's the agreed upon process by the union and the league. He would have been better off taking hGH.

He's only tore his triceps once so I am assuming its recent.

[bt12483]

I just find it hard to believe he would personally call this guy. I mean really, celebrities have people do things for them.

I also find it funny that this doesn't come out until literally media day of the SB. I mean come on...it was obviously held back intentionally.

If there is such rock solid evidence against him, I doubt he would have been allowed to return.

Why allow him to play not one, not two, but three playoff games???? They could have easily started an investigation and made a decision by now, yet nothing official from the league.

[arnie_uk]

So they've recorded him twice? Supposedly.

Why wouldn't they release the tape and the accusations at the same time?

You assume too much. This story looks like a heap of refuse, until proven otherwise.
