"Two years ago that was the same report," Lewis said. "I wouldn't give that report or him any of my press. He's not worthy of that." The substance was supposedly provided by S.W.A.T.S. owner Mitch Ross. S.W.A.T.S. (Sports with Alternatives to Steroids) is a sports science company that tries to aid athletes in performance enhancement. Lewis reportedly called Owens after the injury and was "prescribed" an array of treatments, including the deer antler spray. Owens recorded the conversations with Lewis, according to Sports Illustrated. HC John Harbaugh told reporters Tuesday he was aware of the report, but didn't know its specifics. He defended Lewis' drug testing record. "Ray has passed every substance test in his career," he said.
