Steroids in golf

Question:

I caught some of a discussion on tv the other day (ESPN or TGC). The

general beleive of the USGA and I guess the PGA too is that there really aren’t any drugs that can make you hit it farther and not destroy your touch around the greens. In short, no gain… no urgency to test. :)

Yeah, I buy that.  A steroid monster with acne and an anger management problem is probably not going to be a star on the PGA tour. Then again, John Daly is….but he doesn’t have acne.

Is Annika Sorenstam on the juice ?  If not, where did the mustache and the 30 yards come from ?  

I heard she now has hair on her chest. All the way down to her dick. -Annika —- remembering Redd Foxx

I thought I caught a glimpse of her on TV scratching her balls. — Jim Sabatke Hire Me – See my resume at http://my.execpc.com/~jsabatke Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

I disagree with your order…..better balls should be #1 by a wide margin….especially since the release of the new Titleist Pro VX ball this past January (that is when the pros started using it). How this ball is legal is beyond me…the USGA needs different tests to be applied to the balls…I played it 3 times in the past month and have seen some of the longest drives I’ve ever hit in my life….

Are any pro golfers on steroids ? Is Annika Sorenstam on the juice ?  If not, where did the mustache and the 30 yards come from ?   I saw a replay of the 1995 US Open…boy does she look different. I don’t think she is…I just wonder what you folks think.

- Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Are any pro golfers on steroids ? I’m surprised there’s been no discussion here on the fact that the first official drug testing of golfers took place after a European Tour event last weekend (Open de France). Six players were tested, the three top place getters and another three at random from the field. I’m not sure what testing criteria or banned substance list they’re using, I think it was whatever the French Governement has legislated as the "banned substance list" for "universal" sport testing in that country. The French have been very hard on drug taking since the Tour de France debacle in 1998. Here, the Australian PGA Tour is currently organising drug testing procedures and protocol for the upcoming summer events. I believe what they are sorting out, and the only sticking point, is the actual list of banned substances. Apparently the general consensus is that drugs like beta-blockers are likely to be far more useful to a golfer than any muscle-building drugs like steroids. My info is that beta blockers are useful in those sports such as shooting or archery where steadiness and heart rate reduction is important. So a golfer would use them to enhance steadiness in putting, for example. Someone with more knowledge than me might be able to supply this information.

Response:

It wouldn’t surprise me if Golf Pro’s are taking steroids. It could potentially add 30 yards and turn women into men :-)

Some of the women already are men and it ain’t the steroids.

I think she had her teeth "fixed".  I also think she looked better before they were "fixed".  But that’s just MHO.
