"Tiger Woods Suspended for Failed Drug Test" Claims PGA Golfer Dan Olsen

[jerry1967]

Is it true that Tiger is suspened for drug use not because of his back?

[tmac20]

No. Where did you hear that from?

[jerry1967]

I tried to post a interview on here that said he is suspened for drugs and he has been using a illegal bal but it will not let me. I don't know if it is true I was wonderering anybody else heard this.

No idea about the veracity of the source, but is this what you're on about?

[Mr. Desmond]

Returned to say that Dan Olsen is known as a great quote machine:

In 2011, from Rex Hoggard:

Although most fans won’t recognize Olsen this week, for 30 minutes on Tuesday he proved why he was one of the game’s best interviews during his far-to-short time on Tour. Among the highlights:

“The last time I signed my name was on a speeding ticket, and my divorce papers. Now I’m signing 200 (autographs) a day. I’m starting to have flashbacks.”

On how many times he was fined by Tour commissioner Tim Finchem: “Tim never actually fined me, although I was in his office once.”

“I didn’t have to buy a ticket or streak the place to get in (the PGA Championship).”

On the international flavor of this year’s PGA: “I don’t speak the right language.”

Asked what would happen if he somehow won the PGA? “I’d sober up just in time to enter the Masters.”

On Atlanta Athletic Club: “This place is crazy, even Tiger (Woods) could win here.”

As to the truth, I'm sure all will be revealed in time.

Here's another  similar link; http://www.brianmanzella.com/golfing-discussions/18508-tiger-suspended-drug-use.html Problem is no one is telling us who their sources are. As it is now, it's just hearsay. If true, 30 days does not seem like a long enough time off for illegal drug use. Up side is, if true, then his back is probably healthier that what we were asked to believe.

If the allegations are not true, you bet someone is going to be sued by Woody's handlers.

As for the illegal ball use, that allegation been going on for years. When Woody was with Harmon, they use to golf at the Rio Secco golf course. One of Woody's golf balls went into a home owner's back yard. There was quite a discussion on how to get that ball back. The home owner was telling the neighborhood that Harmon, himself paid him $100 for the return of the ball. Of course the home owner was a lawyer, so take his words with a grain of salt.

I've read in the past that Tiger used a golf ball that wasn't manufactured for consumers but never heard it was non-conforming.  I'd buy the suspension story a bit more if he didn't withdraw from the last tournament he was in complaining of back pain.

Same thing by the same guy.

And is unfounded. And really just kind of dumb.

It wouldn't be the first time someone that very few people know slams someone virtually everyone knows to try and get some attention for themselves. I've never heard of Dan Olsen and don't know anything about him but he's not very forthcoming with his sources so makes it hard to believe this allegation. What say you, @colin007 ?

[colin007]

Depends on the kind of drugs. Of course, I don't believe a word of it, but if it's something like pot, then I really don't care except that he got caught. Again, I don't think it's true, but as long as it's not a PED like HGH then who cares?

[newtogolf]

I can't see it being a failed PED test because one month seems way too light a penalty for it.

Well, Olsen says it'd be bigger than the Armstrong story so one would imagine it's not marijuana.

There is absolutely nothing out there on this besides this one video. Usually with these things you have a lot of smoke before the fire. There is nothing out there right now but this video of this interview. This sounds like a guy who is trying to start a fire were there isn't one.

Tiger is still a big talking point in Golf and sports. You'd think another person would pick on this and dig a bit.

[Silent]

I refuse to believe this, especially when there's not a single piece of evidence or something close to it to back this up.

[mvmac]

Just listened to the interview, Olsen seems to like conspiracy theories. The allegations just don't add up to me. Tiger using a super high-spin ball doesn't make any sense. Driver technology has changed a lot since '98 so Tiger wouldn't be playing the same ball for the past 16 years. Also Tiger still has to hit driver, so using a super spinny ball isn't going to work off the tee.

[turtleback]

Right, every sportswriter in the world would love to get this story but some obscure guy who is apparently known only for giving out stupid quotes has the inside track on what is going on with Tiger.

You also have to wonder where this guy encountered these insiders considering that he has played in exactly ONE tour event in the last ELEVEN years.  Yup, he definitely seems like a guy who would be more plugged in to the happenings on the PGATour than the guys who actually play on it and the reporters who actually cover it.
