I just think it's great that we aren't talking about a "big name" on this topic.

This is why golf is so great. When testing started in other sports you had some high payroll high profile guys getting suspended. Although anyone doing it reflects poorly on the sport at least it's a Nationwide player and not a spotlight player.

This is just what I was thinking as I read the posts.

Also I think it's important to point out not all performance enhancing drugs get you ripped. Look at a lot of the MLB guys that took stuff. They have a "gut" and don't look like roiders. As mentioned there are drugs that enhance focus and take away nerves. A drug like that would be just as if not more beneficial when playing on that level...

Just my opinion and perception

I read an Interview with Zach Johnson in Golf Magazine (november issue), in which when asked about the doping policy he said he had to stop taking Propecia while preparing for and playing in The Open Championship. He can take it while playing regular PGA tour events but Propecia is listed on the R&A's list because it can mask other drugs. He admits that he is still currently taking it.

After all, they had that 'Sampson' historical performance to look back on. Wouldn't want a full head of hair causing him to destroy the field!

Drug testing is a joke!
Invasion of privacy and to be honest, no one but sports writers cares anymore!
