"Just to ensure the honor of the game"

Steve Elling quotes a pair of LPGA greats on the drug testing, and miraculously, they do not whip out the we call penalties on ourselves so therefore testing isn't necessary card:

"As long as they don't test for wine, I think I'm all right," Kerr said, laughing. "I think it's great that we have a policy now, just to ensure the honor of the game, the way it was meant to be played. If you got nothing to hide, you got nothing to worry about."

Said world No. 1 Annika Sorenstam: "I don't really think we are going to see anything out here, so it might be a waste of time. But if it gives peace of mind for people, and if we need to prove to them that the LPGA is clean, then let's do it."

Just about every LPGA player would flunk such a test if the banned substances included beer.

Just about every guy I play golf with would flunk such a test if banned substances included beer. Kinda makes me want to play in an LPGA pro-am, but there's not an event in Chicago anymore (sorta like the PGA Tour every other year).

Again: blood doping. Wave of the future. Virtually untestable, banned by the IOC. This is where the fun is going to come from.

Heard an itneresting take on the LPGA's oneupmunship of the PGA Tour.

The theory involves understanding the nature of women.

Basically, the theory is that the women know of someone who is doctoring and are out to get her.

Clayman-

Grow up and keep your sexist garbage to yourself. That's a couple of posts from you in the past few days with cheesy smacks at women.

Let's take your theory and point it at men. Tiger is all for drug testing on tour. Therefore, he knows someone on tour is doing it and is out to get him.

Maybe I would like to have you in our family foursome, you need a woman golfer to put you in your place.

Kerr had a funny joke for a response. I'm with Smolmania. Most of the friends with whom I play (myself included) would be knocked out on beer. Long live the beer cart service!

Anika wants to ensure honor, Finchem keeps pronouncing honor, how bout Anika for PGA TOUR Commisioner?
