John Player, an ageing progolfer, has spoken out to the media about alleged useage of 'performance enhancing drugs' amongst golfers on the eve of the US open. While he's probably not wrong in saying that various of the golfers out there have resorted to such chemical means of gaining the edge from Tiger Woods, one can't help but wonder that John said this when he did. IF some of his immediate competition is one of the suspect crew, he just might have rattled them enough to make a difference if the media takes up on it.
Of course, the world golf administrator didn't help things by saying that drug use couldn't happen in golf, because they're too nice and honourable and decent a bunch of blokes to do such wicked things. If he doesn't draw down compulsory testing on his sport by such stupid comments, then I reckon the golfers are very lucky people.
And if you're wondering what use could such drugs be to a golfer, take heed of the fact that international bocce is tested for, as well as lawn bowls at the national level here in Australia!
