Perspective: Tiger's Stance On Drug Testing

For those wondering about Tiger Woods' drug testing stance, check out this post which refers to his initial position after yours truly asked him about it at Sherwood in 2005, and his shift in August, 2006.

I don't think it's a stretch to say it was those remarks in 2006 that forced Tim Finchem's hand. Remember, the Commissioner long resisted drug testing due to its cost and his belief that players were clean even though he himself talked up improved athleticism to explain distance gains. Then couple Tiger's pressure and the Olympics in mind, by 2008 Finchem himself was submitting his urine for testing.

Something to keep in mind after today's New York Times story.
