There is no evidence to warrant drug testing in golf, according to Tim Finchem, commissioner of America's PGA Tour. It had also been suggested that random testing of players, conducted by the World Anti-Doping Agency, could begin later this year. But Finchem said the matter had been raised twice in the past five or six years at meetings between the various heads of world golf though not recently. We don't recognise a definable list of so-called performance enhancements in this sport.
Nobody has yet to make a case that there is such an enhancement.
Finchem said a number of players who had been prescribed Beta-blockers for various conditions had given them up because they impaired their performance rather than helped it. The conclusion was that it hurt their ability to play golf. So we just haven't had any compelling data which tells us we should really spend a lot of energy and focus on it although, again, we keep our eyes open and wait for the medical community to continue to do their studies. He said it was a different story with other sports.
