Ray Lewis a Dirty Birdy?

Bad titles are all I have, okay.

Sports Illustrated has a report that will be released on Monday that links Ray Lewis to a Performance Enhancing Drug. Mitch Ross who is Co-owner of the Sports with Alternatives to Steroids (SWATS) says he spoke with Lewis after his triceps tear back in October. Lewis had requested several products to speed up the healing process with Deer-antler spray being the funniest one they had. However, the Spray actually contains a banned substance called IGF-1 which is on the NFL list of banned substances. Ray Lewis addressed these accusations during Media Day of all times and denied using PED's.

Who you rooting for now America? (Forget Randy Moss claiming to be the best WR ever). While Ray Lewis will play in the Super Bowl, this story now possibly becomes a distraction for the team, especially considering that Ray is the heart and soul of that locker room. I think the Ravens are better than that but it's still a possibility.

To all you people out there that say "we don't care about PED's in football as much as baseball," are you Colts fans? Broncos fans? Patriots fans? Because guess what: Ray Lewis lead his team to victory in against all three of those teams in the playoffs and was the lead tackler in each contest. Not to mention the morale boost he gives the defense from simply being on the field also has to be taken into consideration. Still don't care about PED's in football?

P.S. Yes, I'm a 49ers fan and there is a bias but I'm not the one releasing the report on Ray.
