Tiger's swing featured a locking motion on his left knee, which deteriorated over time and ultimately led to it basically crumbling. Implying that Tiger Woods took steroids is absolutely ridiculous, and there is simply no basis.

The PGA Tour drug tests too. Their version of "cheating" was implied when certain players clubs were believed to be playing with "super clubs" and so they began testing. Tiger's caddie was one of the first guys to bring in the clubs for testing.

It's a shame our society is so jaded that when someone comes along, someone who is smart, devoted and good at what they do, we immediately cry fowl.



Okay, sorry to bring this thread farther off topic.

I take lots of drugs:

* Steroids to make it up the two flights of stairs from the fourth to the sixth floor (LAD doesn't have an elevator all the way to the top)

* I take an eye enhancer to help glow the colors the jockey silks during the race.

* I also take a drug which enables my voice to sound a few notches deeper. Otherwise, I sound like the guy on the Seinfeld episode who sounds like a girl (the high talker).

* I take an anti-fatigue drug to help deter heavy breathing from getting up out of my desk chair, and going to the stand, between every race.

There's nothing in society today that anyone can do well while being "clean" ... it's simply impossible!

65-for-276 ($1.57 ROI)

Dutrow's record at GP this year:

7-for-36 ($1.71 ROI)


Yes, by taking away a 12/1 shot winner he trained as if it never happened .. you could push him below his avg mark. Who in the hell cares about an ROI when the sample size is just 36 races??? This is almost getting as dumb as bringing DWL's name into a thread about magical trainers.

so why the big stink by beyer about dutrow in the origal drf piece and then no follow up on him only on wolfson - can't andy explain that dutrow is having a meet that matches his lifetime record at GP as a follow up piece?

For starters ... the guy has won 3 different Breeders Cup races in the last 4 years with horses he moved way up.

Here's Silver Train: http://www.drf.com/row/pps/silvertrain.pdf (7th beaten 13+ lengths in an N1X allowance in his final start before going to Dutrow. Less than 8 months later he wins the Breeders Cup Sprint.)

Here's Saint Liam: http://www.drf.com/row/pps/saintliam.pdf (6th by 7.75 lengths in an N2X alw in his final start pre Dutrow. He magically transforms into the 2005 Horse of the Year after a Breeders Cup Classic win as the favorite.

Here's Kip Deville: http://www.drf.com/row/pps/kipdeville.pdf (In his first start for Dutrow Jr. - he opens up a 15 length lead in a 14 horse field - getting his first six furlongs in an insane 1:08 3/5 going 9.5 furlongs! He stays on for 2nd at 28/1 odds. Future Breeders Cup Mile winner. 2nd in the '08 Mile as well)

Oh yeah, I'm going to assume Beyer made a big stink about Dutrow in the "origal" piece because a toad named This One's For Phil ran unexplainably fast in his first start for Dutrow.

I know he's employed and all now ... but can someone please page BTW and tell him to come by again and mock me for answering all your questions.

That's fine, it's still a downright miserable analogy to the subject at hand.

i don't know if he is clean or not , i don't know if any trainers are clean or not


but why no mention of how he is having a meet that is by no means any different than he has had in the past?

Are the PGA testing Travis? I don't remember them going towards testing. I do remember Tiger in 2005 coming out and saying he was pro drug testing if the PGA was to adopt it.

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.

However the race in question isnt nearly like what has gone on now. Onion was a pretty good horse (set a track record for 6 1/2 furlongs 11 days before when horses used to race alot) who got an uncontested lead and held off Secretariat in the stretch. The story was that Secretariat was not right and was vulnerable not that Onion had freaked out. HAJ told me he wasnt even going to run in the Whitney until he saw Secretariat work poorly that week. (Poorly for him was 1/2 in 48 and change) Big difference.

I always knew you were a juicer. No one can call races like that on crawfish and water alone.

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.
