There is no drug-testing policy on the PGA Tour, and when Tiger Woods called for one this week at the Bridgestone Invitational, no one should have been surprised, according to Woods' agent, Mark Steinberg of IMG.
"There's a lot out there right now, with BALCO, the cycling and the sprinters, so what he's saying is, 'Start with golf, start with me. I'm clean and I think the sport's clean,' " Steinberg said Friday.
" 'If people are speculating about golf, let's get it over now.' "

Nobody is speculating about golf.
archie bunker on cocaine thinks so.....
That's actually pretty good form/technique for a 300+lb. golfer.
Everyone knows the heavy drug use is in croquet and curling.
LOL
hopefully they won't outlaw heaters and beer....
Natalie Gulbis and Paula Creamer do appear to be a bit enanched...
Dan Patrick did a show on 18 Aug about steroids and golf with Nick Falso. Faldo does not believe its a problem.....but Patrick keeps raising the question with Woods at the center
I do...without question I do.
Beta blockers have been used for awhile, but the roids are making their way into golf starting in highschool and college. The top player in the game heads the list on the tour.
Why wouldn't they? Kids are starting to use 'roids in 8th grade.
Nick Price was recently discussing roids too. He does not believe its a problem on tour now, but visions a nearing explosion. What is a kid who has dreamed of making a living his whole life going to do when his maximum drive his 265 yds? When he is told he can't make it on tour with that length, he'll seek a little help given all the money there is to be made.......what happens when 10% of the kids are looking for help? The guy that naturally hits it 290 no longer has an advantage.....dominoes. It happened in football, boxing, track, tennis, swimming, biking....the list goes on...why not golf?
Daly is pushing 300 in that pic.....at the same time the PGA had his weight listed at 225 on his bio.
why not golf?
The same arguments they were making in support of baseball, they are doing for golf.
How could roids help a baseball player they said? You need fine muscle control to accurately place a bat on a 95 mph fastball......those arguments are dead now, as similar ones will be for golf.
How can anyone keep the clubhead square through 6"rough and hit a nine iron 190 yds as if it were on a tight fairway?
I wouldn't be surprised if the PGA is supplying the roids.
