These drugs won't help golfers!
There is a lot more to golf than just power hitting. Accuracy and skill come to mind right away.
When will athletes get the picture?
Barron who? Hasn't helped him yet!

That's ridiculous. He took a drug for a panic disorder, those are prescription drugs, prescribed only by medical doctors. Suspending someone for taking a legally prescribe medication that allows them to live a full life is inane, insane and immoral. You have to be living in a sort of hell to get to a point where you need medication to handle daily life, to tarnish someone for doing what millions of other people do every day is overkill. And I hope legally actionable. People need to be encouraged to get help with medical disorders not "fired" from their jobs for seeking help.

Beta Blockers are a banned substance! People take beta blockers for migraines -- who sets the PGA policy. I agree with gene -- this is ridiculous, and the PGA should be ashamed of itself.
