A three-time major winner is turning into a major headache for the PGA Tour.
In a memorandum filed with the New York State Supreme Court on Tuesday, Vijay Singh accused Tour officials of subjecting him to "absurd" and "unfair" treatment by ignoring the use of deer antler spray by five other professional golfers playing on the PGA Tour and the Champions Tour and then lying to the public by "characterizing Singh as a cheater who caught a break."
...
Singh's lawyer, Peter Ginsberg, claimed that the Tour's legal strategy attempts to rewrite their rules to cover their own tracks.
...
As a mirror into his mentality, Commissioner Finchem under oath in discovery in this litigation was asked to explain his multiple, false and misleading public statements about the Singh matter," Ginsberg wrote. "Remarkably, Commissioner Finchem refused to respond to the questioning about whether WADA ever changed the list or why he told the world that WADA had changed the list, and, instead, stormed out of the deposition, and refused to return
...
organizational failure that raises questions about the way the Tour conducts its business.
"As detailed in the filing, the PGA Tour's bogus rationalization for treating Vijay differently than it treated multiple other players, and then Commissioner Finchem's unwillingness to remain in his deposition and explain why the PGA Tour ignored WADA's guidance about the Spray and then misled the public, speak volumes about the golf organization's conduct and failure to fulfill its duties and obligations. Either the PGA Tour was woefully ignorant or woefully arrogant, but, either way, it was woefully irresponsible and Vijay suffered as a result."

-—And what race are people from India????-—
Depends on who you ask...
Most classify people’s of India as indo-aryan...
But my point was he is dark skinned..
“...ignoring the use of deer antler spray...”
I don’t follow golf and am not interested in reading the article so can some kind soul concisely explain to me what “deer antler spray” is for in golf?
Yes, I know. Same here. Thanks, though.
How convenient.
Semites and Mexicans are dark skinned. So are southern Italians (Mediterranean blood) . None of those are races
The light upper class ones are largely Aryan. No one would mistake Singh for an Aryan. He's quite dark. (And you do know he's from Fiji, don't you?)
Aryan is not a race
Golf isn’t so bad these days, now that the commentators will sometimes talk about someone other than ‘Tiger’.
Are you one of those ‘no such thing as race’ liberal Sociology or Anthropology profs?
Or do you prefer the Biblical terms of Hammite, Japhethite, and Shemmite?
Vijay violated the rules of golf on the course during competition. Antler extract means nothing. Golf cannot function in an environment where cheaters are tolerated. You cannot have enough referees on the course, so Vijay will always be damaged goods.
Tim Finchem should go public with Phil Mickelson’s punishment.
It was the second time in two years that Mickelson met the media at the Memorial to talk about stock deals instead of his short game. FBI agents met him after his first round of the 2014 Memorial to ask him about bookie Walters during an insider trading investigation.
Mickelson allegedly took the advice of known gambler Billy Walters to buy and sell the stock in order to repay gambling debts to Walters.
That not only looks bad, it is specifically addressed in the PGA Tour’s handbook on player conduct
Caucasoid, Mongoloid, Negroid
Can’t use Mongoloid any more - not politically correct.
Aryan, on the other hand, dates to the Vedic period in India (1000 B.C., give or take a few hundred years). And, of course, there are the Indo-Aryan languages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Aryan_languages
Language roots yes. Racial characteristic no
But the modern biologists reject the idea of race based on biological characteristics
