What we do know is Gary Player was chastised by some for suggesting he knew that atleast 10% of players were using steroids, I really don't know why it would be such a big surprise if golf had similar problems to other sports, I am just being realistic, that it is somewhat unrealistic(no intention to rhyme here) that only one sport would remain prestine when most others have already been tainted.
There is less than zero chance that the PGA would call a positive test on Woods regardless of what they found in his tests. I mean does anyone really think they wouldnt squash a bad test for Tiger?

No chance. It would be squashed and the person who leaked it would get sued and eventually take a package and go away.

Probably not, U.S track covered up positive tests.
Bud Selig had his head buried in sand, there is no doubt he knew what was going on in baseball and allowed it to carry on until token testing was mandated. I don't know if Tiger is using anything to enhance his game, I really hope he is the exception, but when one examines other superstars in other sports, Marion Jones, Lance Armstrong, Roger Clemons just to name 3 off the top of my head, it's hard not to atleast wonder. Is he?

If he didn't he would certainly stand alone, there are just so many that do now. Heck even Royce Gracie was caught using HGH when he fought Sakurabi the second time. It's everywhere, you don't have to look under a haystack to find a news article about athletes on steriods.

That's what I don't understand. People still will deny it is not possible.

The best example of undetected steroid use or looking the other way is the NFL. The standard they have is similar to horse racing. If they put a policy in and do as little as possible to enforce it, only the morons will test positive and they can use those guys as examples of how well their testing works.

The difference between the NFL and MLB is that the NFL has a much better grasp of PR and strategic planning. To think that the vast majority of NFL players are 100% clean is ludicrous
