Tiger Woods on Steroids?: You Be The Judge
Bleacher Report ^ | December 15, 2009 | Sven Klemencic

Posted on 12/15/2009 6:01:25 PM PST by Frantzie

We thought the worst for Tiger was behind him, or, at the very least, that no closet was big enough to hold any more skeletons.

Looks like we were wrong—remember, Tiger owns more than a few houses, and more than a few closets.

Behind door number—which one are we on now?—is the revelation that the doctor who treated Woods after his knee injury has been indicted in a doping scandal by the FBI, and is accused of treating athletes with steroids.

I am older than Tiger in pretty good shape and have all my hair because I was smart enough to start Rogaine when I was younger. Taking care of myself and also being smart. The Gillette commercial without his shirt is not that impressive. In a month at the gym - I could meet or surpass all of that except the forearms. No one in golf has forearms like that. HGH.

I may just start doing it but have been very busy.

In my example it would be pretty stupid for a super model to be working at Dairy Queen...wouldn’t it Einstein?

But highly intelligent to be working as a nanny, of course.

Why the Hell would someone need steroids in golf?

For extra strength. Being stronger is an advantage if the ball is deep rough. If your not strong enough, the grass grabs the club face and twists the club resulting in a bad shot.

“Question, though, is steroids agin the law for golfers? Just curious.”

I don’t know where the PGA comes down on that. Certainly taking presecription medication without the prescription is illegal. It might also be that even with a prescription it’s illegal if you’re doing it for non-medical-related reasons.

Bulking up to impress chicks won’t cut it.

If she’d been black and poor he wouldn’t have given her the time of day, either.

If you were a woman, would you like to marry a used car salesman or a professional golfer?

A sign holder or a professional chef?

A McDonald’s counter guy or a law student?

A bus driver or a man runs his own photography studio?

What a man does says a lot about what a man is. Industrious, hard working, self-disciplined, ambitious, intelligent? Or lazy, clueless, tempermental, stupid, or manipulative?

Of course you want a hard-working, intelligent man.

What sort of man would you like your daughter to marry?

I thought Azado died from carcinoma of the liver. Perhaps mets to the brain, or I may simply fail at memory.

No dog in the hunt, but the fact that his doctor has just been popped for juicing athletes, that Tiger took months off right before they started testing for steroids, combined with the massive growth in a short period of time, plus increased stories about erratic behavior creates legitimate suspicion.

That’s funny. Comparing a boob job to performance enhancing drugs in sports. I guess in a twisted way, boob jobs are performance enhancing as well.

One teensy little difference, though, is that I’m pretty sure that the ‘league’ Tiger plays in, the PGA, has rules against steroids.

The brain cancer did him in. The HGH Azado was using was also from a very questionable source.

Using the juice is short term gain only. I have noticed in my sport (bicycle racing) that juicers are “flash in the pan”, here today gone tomorrow. Athletes who train intelligently and use natural supplementation (amino acid combinations) to boost the body’s own mechanisms can achieve the same results. It does take a bit longer, and more work, but the benefits are much longer term without the ill effects. One example is Kent Bostick, formerly of Team Shaklee, and still a strong road rider in his mid 50’s.

If you really want to see the long term effects of the juice, look at some of the East German athletes. Healthwise they are basket cases.

Seriously, do you have any idea what you are talking about?

I think you don’t understand what I am saying.

Just because you work at an Ihop or a Used car lot does not mean you are not smart, or not hard working or any of the things you tried to make fit. These people could be working their way through college, whatever.

“These people could be working their way through college, whatever.”

Of course, and I think I understand.

An honest, hardworking, reasonable ambitious man is attractive to a young woman.

I am trying to say, there is nothing immoral about not being attracted to a deadbeat!

I started going out with my husband when he was working as a rental car agent and living in his parents’ garage. . . but he wasn’t a deadbeat, he took care of business, he had plans.

I don’t think it is crass, commercial, or bad for a young woman to consider whether a husband is going to have a reasonable chance of providing for her and whatever children they should have should they marry. Women are very vulnerable with young kids. And young kids are very vulnerable. It would be stupid and careless not to consider whether a man can support you or not when considering whether you should marry him. That’s not being a “gold digger.”

Traditionally, that’s what a father of the bride asks a prospective mate: “How do you plan to provide for my daughter/ the family?”

It’s a reality of life. Pregnant women and women with little children do not do well at providing for themselves or the kid(s). They can’t.

Single moms with 2/3/4/5 kids are often complained about on FR - welfare deadbeats, badly behaved children - yet when a woman holds out for a man she can be more certain of being a good provider, some on FR act as though she is an immoral golddigger. I don’t think that’s reasonable or consistent.

If you really want to see the long term effects of the juice, look at
some of the East German athletes. Healthwise they are basket cases.

Despite most of the junk on PBS, they did have a sad and in-depth
documentary on the sad state of those East German female athletes that
grabbed all the Olympic medals.
(I can’t remember for sure, but I think it was a NOVA episode.)

Many are physical and some mental basket-cases.

Additionally sad is that the East Germans appear to have not been
given any sort of direct consultation from their coaches/staffs
that they were biological guinea pigs. All for the greater cause of
their Socialist Republic.

And the bitterness of the competitors that lost to them is another
bitter issue. As they don’t get any direct acknowledgement from the
Olypmic authorities that “they was robbed” by the juicing of the
East Germans.

When I saw the documentary I felt a little guilty for having laughed
at a “National Lampoon” cover that showed an Eastern Block/Soviet
female athelet in track-and-field attire...
with an obvious bulge in her shorts.
These girls were really used by their government, coaches and the
“doctors” that attended to them.

It looks like Bleacher Report has been reading Free Republic and following my Tiger Posts and pictures, LOL.

Yeah, hello, I’ve been telling this to all my golfing buddies for years now, I still haven’t convinced a couple of them.

The dude has slabbed on a ton of his mass, a lot of it after the age of 30. Give it a try and see how much you can add without any “help”, and also hit thousands of golf balls which will NOT add mass, and make time for 14 girlfriends, a couple of hundred hookers, alcohol, Ambien, and Vicodin, WELL AFTER the time you should have STOPPED taking Vicodin. Vicodin is for EXTREME PAIN, or to get totally wasted, let me know how the “Tiger Regimen” works out for you.

Don’t steroids mess around with a guy’s twig and berries, and not in a good way?

_________

Only if you’re using a LOT, once you cycle off them your berries will “drop” again and usually return to normal, it’s like puberty every few months, LOL. Extended heavy use and you could wind up with “peanuts”.

HGH is a better drug all the way around, and I would guess that it’s Tiger’s drug of choice.

It’s the “blood dopers” you have to worry about in your sport Fred. There’s some great drugs for stamina, certain steroids too, they don’t all make you “big”, you had better be miles better than a guy who’s using to beat him.

Little boxers who throw over 100 punches a round and seemingly never tire use these drugs too.

Those old Olympic Soviet Bloc athletes were using cattle and horse roids and God knows what else that deformed their heads. Excessive HGH will deform your head and your internal organs too. Barry Bonds gained like 3 hat sizes.

The irony is that he played his best in 2000, before the big muscles.

I think he made some swing changes that made his swing very inefficient. In order to keep the distance up he had to get stronger... and he did it the easy way.

Woods has natural talent but he also had to work hard. Only Daly had enough talent to win two majors while drunk, never practicing and 50 pounds overweight.
