Plus, the PGA is bigoted against Americans who love America. They pulled out of a Trump owned property in Florida to move a tournament to Mexico.

the World Anti-Doping Agency determined the product didn’t contain enough of the hormone IGF-1 to be performance-enhancing.

The story is real, the product is essentially snake oil.

At lease Singh has enough class not to raise the race card....

Which seems very likely was the cause of the different non-explanations why he was singled out....

Started a couple or so years back. Not a joke as the spray contained trace
amounts of a banned growth hormone IGF-1.

google will give you some info if you care to explore further.

In 2013, The Tour announced its intention to suspend Singh for 90 days following his admission to Sports Illustrated that he had used the spray, which contained trace amounts of the banned growth hormone IGF-1, but quickly lifted its suspension when the World Anti-Doping Agency determined the product didn’t contain enough of the hormone to be performance-enhancing.

So what is your take on Singh’s allegation that five other players used the spray without consequence. (ps... I didn’t read the article, but just the comments.)

I was wondering if you thought his complaint holds up? Sounds as though the Commissioner ducked out and ran for cover, on the question.

I really do not know, I hardly ever watch any sports anymore. Golf was never at the top of the list when I did.
