PGA commissioner Tim Finchem is calling
for the USGA and R&A to jointhe PGA in setting up standards for
drug testing for all sanctioned events.
Just to rest your worries, this does not mean that beer is going to
be banned from your Sunday foursome. Despite the fact that I
personally think that a six-pack does improve my performance on the
links, they are targeting officially sanctioned events.
There's no final word on what they're banning, but I would expect
something similar to the NFL in terms of illegal substances as well
as some pretty stringent steroids and HGH bans...especially
considering that this is the direction all major sporting leagues
seem to be headed these days.
