It seems to me that when anyone is really good at anything they get accused of cheating. I guess that is because people do cheat. Well now it has come to tennis players and golfers. You hear about people being accused of cheating in cycling and baseball, but what about golf. I never thought that golfers would be doping, let’s be honest, most of them do exactly look like “well oiled machines”, but doping is everywhere.

GOLF

Golf finally joined other major sports Thursday when its leading organizations announced an anti-doping policy that will begin in 2008.

PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem, who also serves as chairman of the World Golf Foundation, said the policy includes a list of banned substances, and methods for each golf organization to carry them out.

TENNIS

What about Tennis? Yes they are worried about doping in tennis too.

The Tennis Anti-Doping Programme is a comprehensive and internationally recognized drug-testing strategy that applies to all players competing at tournaments sanctioned by the ITF, ATP, and WTA Tour.
