“In relation to your pending IGF-1 matter, it is the position of WADA, in applying the Prohibited List, that the use of "deer antler spray" (which is known to contain small amounts of IGF-I) is not considered prohibited.

On the other hand it should be known that Deer Antler Spray contains small amounts of IGF-1 that may affect anti-doping tests.

Players should be warned that in the case of a positive test for IGF-1 or hGH, it would be considered an Adverse Analytical Finding.”

Based on this new information, and given WADA’s lead role in interpreting the Prohibited List, the TOUR deemed it only fair to no longer treat Mr. Singh’s use of deer antler spray as a violation of the TOUR’s anti-doping program.

I think it is interesting that the PGA Tour is taking the position that you can use the spray BUT it could cause a positive test

If it was Tiger, the PGA would have used some obscure nobody knew they passed and they never used before to keep him from getting punished.

I'm no lawyer, but I'm pretty sure if a baseball player admitted to using a banned substance that would be treated as a positive test even in the absence of an actual positive test.
