two hours . As the admin on several other forums it's a good rule of thumb to wait 24 hours before even thinking about bumping your thread. In fact, even longer is a good idea since this place doesn't get five thousand posts a day, and topics actually stick around for a while on the front page. Take a chill pill, man.

I guess even a broken watch is right twice a day. Oh well, I tried, I guess. The little guy is amusing at times, though, I have to admit...

The reason is I had to ponder it a while. I personally think the testing is going to be complex.

For example; many, if not most of the tour players have personal trainers that are involved in their training program and I would bet, also diet... I would suspect that the trainers are also paid well with other incentives as well(ie their player winning)... Therefore, the trainer may be under pressure to get the golfer to perform well and give them a drug offending substance in a energy drink or whatever.... The pro golfer has no clue of this.... Should he/she(the golfer) be punished? What about the legitimate medical use of certain steroids? How about Ibuprofen? Nicotine(sorry Angel Cabrera)? Where will it end?

You give a good point.The Tour will have to have all parties involved investigated before any action towards the player taken. Going to be a tough one,isn't it?

I said none. I don't believe there is 0 use. I do believe if you know what you are doing the levels and substances that golfers would use are easily masked or are not detected. HGH and low levels of testorone via cream etc would give some advantage but not be outside of range. Remember golfers don't have to be the strongest, fastest or jump the highest. They just need enough to recover little more quickly and modestly improve strength and flexibility. Enough for an extra 10-15 yards without significant bulk. If one of them is is dumb enough to go for more than that they will be caught. Also if street drugs that aren't really performance enhancing, like pot, are being tested then someone likely will fail.

The only guy I'm worried about is Will McKenzie if they have Canabis on the banned list.

I dont think that any golfers will be busted for steroids or HGH to enhance performance, maybe to get back from an injury but not for performance enhancement. I do think however that many will get busted for anphetemines and concerntraiton enhancing drugs. I have ADHD and i take aderall for it everyday, i can see a huge diference in my golf game from when im off it and when i take it. Im usually better at putting and planning out the holes when it take them.

What would be the point of taking steroids? I am more scared of the guy who hits a 5 iron 150 yards that can hit a draw, fade, cut, and can stop it on a dime then I am a person who hits it 400 yards

I didn't think about the ADHD angle. I am going to steal some of my sons concerta before my next round

. I should not make fun of ADHD. I am actually textbook ADHD, I was never diagnosed because for my generation, it was only kids that got in trouble that were put on Ritalin. It probably would have helped me a ton because I had/have a terrible time concentrating. The one thing about most ADHD meds is that they are actually stimulants and will not help someone that does not have ADHD focus. In fact it could do quite the opposite. There are a lot of people that use drugs like Aderall to get high.

That's what I thought. Does the test detect performance anti-enhancing (not sure if that is a word)? I don't think anyone will be busted for roids but maybe a little weed or some blow?

[TommyD69]

I voted 1 player. Some poor bugger is gonna forget about his Beta blockers for his heart condition, and is gonna get busted. After that, everyone will be more careful........

Are they really gonna test for weed?!?!!? Dude.....

There's an article in Golf Digest that made the best point.

As long as Tiger tests negative for performance enhancing drugs, what does it matter if everyone else is positive?
