What usually happens with steroid users is that their game just irreparably goes to crap when they stop using it. (Look at Sammy Sosa. He instantly went from hitting a homerun every 6 at-bats to hitting only air. Literally the last image of Sosa in Chicago is security footage of him leaving skid marks in the parking lot.) I think that’s what’s happening to Tiger here.
EXCERPTS:
Of 71 PGA Tour players surveyed, 24 percent said they thought Woods “used HGH or other performance-enhancing drugs.”
Questions about Woods and PEDs arose in late 2009 when a New York Times article linked Woods to Canadian doctor Anthony Galea. The Times said Galea was under criminal investigation in the United States, and that he was suspected of providing performance-enhancing drugs to athletes.
The New York Daily News reported in December that Woods had been treated by Mark Lindsay, a Canadian chiropractor who is a principal in a Toronto clinic with Galea, and the Times reported that it was Lindsay who asked Galea to look at Woods. Lindsay sometimes treated patients of Bay Area Lab Cooperative (BALCO) founder Victor Conte. In 2005 Conte pleaded guilty to distributing steroids and money laundering.
