I'd say that's an understatement...

The PGA Tour has suspended Dustin Johnson for six months after he tested positive for cocaine, according to a report on Golf.com.
Citing a source, Golf.com reported that Johnson has failed three drug tests -- two for cocaine (in 2014 and 2012) and one for marijuana (2009).
Johnson, 30, was suspended for the 2012 failed test, Golf.com reported, but that suspension was never made public. Under its guidelines, the PGA Tour is not required to announce any disciplinary actions against players who test positive for recreational drugs.
Johnson announced Thursday that he was taking a leave of absence from competition, effective immediately, for "personal challenges."
"I will use this time to seek professional help for personal challenges I have faced," he said in a statement issued by his management company. "By committing the time and resources necessary to improve my mental health, physical well-being and emotional foundation, I am confident that I will be better equipped to fulfill my potential and become a consistent champion."
The PGA Tour released a statement Thursday wishing Johnson well. On Friday, executive vice president Ty Votaw said the tour would have no further comment.
Johnson will miss next week's PGA Championship in Louisville, Kentucky, as well as the FedEx Cup playoffs.
He played the Cadillac Championship in March 2012 and then did not play again until the Memorial in late May. He said then he was not playing because he'd injured his back lifting a jet ski. But Golf.com's source says Johnson was actually serving a suspension for failing a drug test for cocaine. At the time, the tour had no official comment, and Johnson's agent denied that the player had been suspended.

Not guilty!
Hey, someone had to say it.
And Congress, including staffers.
.
It was alcoholism and gambling (both legal by the way) that tragically destroyed John Daly.......not illegal drugs.
I don't think that's a cat. Unless you were referring to a certain part of Ms. Gretzky's anatomy.
Professional athletes aren't going to dabble in PED's or illegal recreational drugs if they face the prospect of a two-year ban with no earnings, not even from sponsors.
You sure about that?
I know, but I just couldn’t help myself....
Sure about what?

Not a huge secret either that #DustinJohnson had affairs with 2 wives of PGA Tour players. One broke up the marriage.

Addicts are not known for their rational thinking, but rather for their irrational behavior.
Probably explains why he does not quite play up to his potential.
Image - of course they should also have suspended Woods for his publicity, but coke is illegal to boot.
Anytime you see an article about Paulina Gretzky they always mention that she is Wayne Gretzky’s daughter. Never say anything about her mother. I think she and Wayne are still married. One of the most beautiful women ever. IMO.
Janet Jones. Paulina looks just like Janet in her younger days. Mom’s still a looker.
I guess Paulina wants to be recognized for something so badly that she thinks risque internet videos is the way. Well, it worked for Paris Hilton ...for a while.
Such a shame... The PGA was SUPPOSED to have, for the first time ever, the TOP 100 Ranked Players in one tournament. Now, we will be missing.. one.
Hope he had fun.
Am I mistaken or does she have legs like toothpicks?
I'd say that's an understatement...
She is not that attractive. The legs are pathetic
She doesn’t have to be attractive to get people to pay to watch her bedroom cam.
