A highly controversial "sports scientist", who was at the centre of an NFL storm after he provided players with "deer antler spray" that they allege contained banned substances, is in dispute with South Sydney over the supply of "products" to the premiership-winning team in 2014.
Mitch Ross, who, among other things, also once sold products in America that he claimed – no, really – "can reverse the effects of post-concussion damage to the brain", turned up at Souths this year. My informant says he provided Souths "all sorts of substances", and he says the dispute now is that Souths won't "pay him ... for his services".
Souths chief executive Shane Richardson strongly denies this, saying: "The club has never entered into any contract either written or verbal with Mitch Ross ... Conversations have taken place with [coach] Michael Maguire where he agreed with Ross to 'experiment' with two of his products on a complimentary basis. These two products were cleared by our testing agencies, as well as by the NRL. The only invoice we have received has been for around $6000 – for products which were supposed to be 'free' – which we have refused to pay as no purchase order has ever been raised or approved. The club has no intention of purchasing any products from Mitch Ross in the future."
Watch this space, sports fans, it might get interesting. My central query is why, most particularly in the current ASADA environment, would you not run screaming from the room, and burn the clothes you were in at the time, when made an offer to provide "products" by such a man when a simple Google turns ups allegations that Ross has already been successfully sued by St Louis linebacker David Vobora "after Vobora tested positive in an NFL drug test a few years back" after taking products provided by Ross that he thought were fine.
"There's not a lot positive about this guy," Vobora is quoted as saying.
Seriously, with allegations like that, how on earth could he be let within a bull's roar of Souths?
I originally posted about this in the lead up to the GF last year, seems it was even dodgeyer (is this even a word?) than was first mentioned....if that's possible. You would think that due to Souths winning a GF under a "supplement program shadow" than they would pay the bloke the 6k to avoid waves and stay quiet? The tight arse pr*cks! Hope he burns them.
