Must be John Daly, I mean look how big he’s gotten over the years. /s

[cripplecreek]

Um, why?

[SaxxonWoods]

That just means the roid-monsters will hit it further into trouble.

I know some guys have taken Medrol packs for inflammation in their wrists

Medrol is a corticosteroid and is not the same type of drug as anabolic steroids.

[Revolting cat!]

Steroids in golf? Why? Next, you’ll here there are steroids in checkerboard leagues!

[Xenalyte]

Isn’t creatine legal?

IIRC, Smoothie King sells it in big plastic jars.

[JonH]

Given the fact there is a big premium on flexibility in golf, the use of muscle mass building drugs seems counter productive.

[Proud_texan]

Aw, Player is just miffed that somebody took his HGH.

(Sorry, couldn't help myself).

From 1923 to 1930 Bobby Jones captured an amazing 62 percent of the national championships he entered, winning 13 of 21 tournaments. He won five of eight U.S. Amateur Championships, and finished second in another. He won one of the two British Amateurs he played in. In eleven of the last twelve open championships he entered, he finished no worse than second, winning seven times. In 1926, Jones became the first player ever to capture the "Double," winning the U.S. and British Open Championships in the same year. In 1930, he accomplished the Grand Slam, winning the British Amateur, British Open, U.S. Open, and U.S. Amateur all in the same year.

If any golfer thinks steroids are going to make them a great golfer,they are mistaken.

Perhaps they could hit the ball farther,but you drive for show,as any golfer knows,then there is the rest of story;)

"Whether it's HGH, whether it's Creatine or whether it's steroids, I know for a fact that some golfers are doing it," he said.

This guy is a blithering idiot if he's going to compare (legal, sold everywhere) Creatine with (illegal) steroids. He should have followed the maxim about not opening your mouth and removing doubt that one is a moron.

[Gunflint]

The creatine mention aside, Player is considered as honorable person as you’ll ever find in sport full of honorable people.

If someone told him he uses steroids, I believe him.

Furthermore, he’s not hanging around guys like Boo Weekly, or Stewart Cink—he’s more than likely bumping into guys like Els or Sabbitini(sp?).

Gary Player is the LAST golfer who should be casting aspersions. The guy was notorious for bending the rules. And worse.

How about the Williams sisters, Venus and Serena.. oh wait, we’re talking golf. sorry.

"Whether it's HGH, whether it's Creatine or whether it's steroids, I know for a fact that some golfers are doing it," he said.

Man! We'd better hope that some athletically gifted Big Person like Michael Jordan doesn't take up the sport...

Either of you guys want to chip in on a roll of duct tape we can send to Player, with instructions for self-administration? :-)

The woods are filled with big hitters, Gary. As if you didn't know. ;-)

[elc]

Gary needs to put up or shut up. Provide names or say nothing at all.

Tiger Woods, the top-ranked golfer, said he hasn't seen any evidence of drugs among his peers apart from those who take hangover cures or medication to reduce inflammation in their wrists.

``Other than that I really don't see anybody doing anything or have heard anybody doing anything,'' said Woods, who has called for drug testing in golf.
