Mitch Ross, who calls himself "Deer Antler Man," runs S.W.A.T.S. (Sports With Alternatives To Steroids), the company that supplied the deer-antler spray Vijay Singh admitted this year to using. Singh was cleared of violating the PGA Tour's substance-abuse policy last week. Ross answers five questions from Mike Stachura.

 

Q: Did you understand the PGA Tour's ruling?

The tour ought to apologize to Vijay for its mis-education. If Vijay should have checked with the tour about antler velvet, then he should have checked with them about the steak and milk that's being served in the clubhouse at every tour event, too. I think in the end, Vijay will look like a hero because he did it the right way; he chose the right company. He didn't seek out illegal synthetics.

Q: How safe is this stuff?

It improves health, gets you off pain pills. Do you think Vijay would have spent nine grand on my protocol if I didn't know what I was doing.

 

Q: You believe you can help average golfers, not just elite athletes?

The weekend warrior is my best customer. The average protocol for a golfer to really improve his game and his body is $150 to $200 a month, $50 a week. What's that to a golfer?

 

Q: Has all this media coverage been good or bad for your business?

It's not going to be bad. Deer-antler spray is on its way to being vindicated. It has been vindicated in golf. Next is the NFL and MLB. They have to answer. But it is what it is. People shun what they don't understand.

 

Q: Do you offer a money-back guarantee?

I don't give a money-back guarantee because I've never had anybody want their money back. But there's a bunch of junky antler products out there. If you think a $30 bottle of antler spray is good, you're nuts. Just like in golf, you get what you pay for.

What part of Deer Antler Spray was on the banned list by WADA and the Tour sent out a letter in 2011 stating that is in question?

 

The fact that it may or may not have belonged is not the issue. IF WADA says skimmed milk is banned, and the Tour says we will follow the WADA list, and you are getting paid $67 Million over your career to play on the Tour, then make a phone call.

 

Vijay and the Deer Antler people may have a legitimate case against WADA, but not the Tour.

Yes, I do think Vijay would have spent nine grand because that's nothing to him.

 

This guy comes off as a bit of a douche imo. He compares his spray to eating steak. I'd rather eat a $50 steak each week tyvm.

 

Now I'm having flashbacks of the last $50 steak I had at foxwoods. I can still taste it...mmmmm...

Amazing that Vijay would deal with a snake oil salesman....Literally that spray could have had anything in it. Supplements are not regulated by the FDA and can contain anything that has not been proven to maim, harm or kill.

You give too much credit to Vijay and athletes in general. Not all that many athletes have all that many smarts, evidence of which is the large numbers that very quickly end up broke after they stop being at the top of their game and lose their contracts. Vijay more likely heard about the spray from someone and, not knowing how to check the ingredients out, simply tried it and liked it, which is pretty much how many of us conduct our own lives.

He was on local talk radio after the Ray Lewis story broke around the Superbowl. He's hilarious to listen to because he's clueless. Was going bankrupt and this saved his butt though, cause he's selling it like crack at a whorehouse.

Have a ton of back-ups in all categories, but there are always 14 clubs in the bag that differ depending on the course and set-up. Bomb and gouge. Yes, I'm a club gigolo.

Crack ? At a whorehouse? More like rent not buy and .... Perhaps I should keep these comments to myself. But they are funny. :D
