Of all the sports that could possibly need a drug policy, golf would be at the bottom of the list. But Tim Finchem, PGA Tour Commissioner said that the tour may institute a drug policy, including testing, by the end of this year, according to the New York Times. The Tour is in the process of creating a list of banned subsances that will be covered under the policy and it will implement a program to discuss with players testing procedures, penalties and health risks. Several players, including Tiger Woods, approve the idea of a drug policy for the PGA Tour. Last November, the LPGA announced it would begin testing for drugs in 2008.
Yeah, I can see doping becoming a big problem in golf. What can the PGA Tour possibly test for? Vitamins? Alcohol? Viagra?
