First golfer busted for PEDs - Page 5

OKay, many of these comments on roids are the typical comments. Steroids don't make you bigger. All they do is allow you to train more often and longer. Your training and diet is what makes you bigger. Otherwise, people would just take the roids and not work out. So, no you can't always tell who is on and who is not. I would say that there are probably more people on them that you have no clue about than people that are on them and you can tell by looking.

As far as Doug Baron.....150% on steroids!!

Looking at Barron's results over the past few years, you have to ask: what was he on? Mogadon? Valium?

Guy has health problems, doctor prescribes help, drugs prescribed are illegal on tour. It's kind of a shame. What was his intent? To be healthy, not gain advantage. What I would like to know is if he knew the drugs were banned would he have chosen not to take them and stay unhealthy or would he have taken them anyway?

My understanding is that his non-medicated testosterone levels were found to be withing the normal range when tested by a 3rd party doctor. Given that, and given that he was not granted an exemption, well, what do you want the tour to do? They have to be consistent in rule application and he doesn't leave them much choice.

probably need more info to give a fair opinion, but here is one thought. does pga know that he is on something before the testing? if i were taking steroid prescribed by mds but know that there may be issues with pga, i would, without any hesitation or delay once i know pga sanctions a list of banned meds, contact pga proactively before any testing is done. now the horse is out of the barn. tough chance for pga to recind. no need to get a black eye for one guy. use him to set an example, justified or not.
