Arbitrators in Floyd Landis’s (yes, that is the correct punctuation) doping case found him guilty of using steroids. They also ruled in dicta that they did NOT rely on Greg Lemond’s testimony that Landis admitted doping to him. The hearing turned into a soap opera when Lemond said thaccused Landis’s manager of trying to influence his testimony. The arbitrators neatly sidestepped the mudslinging, saying Lemond’s testimony did not affect their decision.
Further, the PGA TOUR announced that they will test for steroids starting next year, but stopped short of using the World Anti-Doping Agency list of banned substances. As soon as the final list and prescribed penalties arrive at our offices, we will analyze the effectiveness of the list.
Until then, the TOUR released this list of general categories. Good news – they test for masking agents and anti-estrogen agents. Keep a weather eye out to make sure they test for clomid – according to Selena Roberts, that’s a sure fire way to see if someone is using steroids. Bad news – no HGH, the drug of choice. Until they blood test – and with the millions of dollars these guys play for, they can stick their opposition right in their bottom – until they blood test for HGH, the list is nothing more than a roadmap on how to cheat.
