There are some new tests for HGH but they are only using them in minor sports leagues right not to test them. I think he could still get around the HGH part but with added scrutiny on himself it might be tough to take anything.

There isn't a US professional sport that has adopted a testing protocol of hGH. I do remember reading several months ago that the World Anti-Doping Agency had developed a test, and it was in clinical trials. I imagine that those trials are over now, but I'm not sure.

In any event, I read just a few weeks that there still aren't any US professional sports testing for hGH, golf included. Of course, without a player's union, the PGA Tour could adopt such a testing regimen immediately, if they so desired.

I am sure the PGA will give him an exemption.

Yes TiHgHer is guilty as charged, but the PGA should fry for this. They built a whole new genre of golf course to take advantage of Tiger & I'm sure they were aware of what they were dealing with from the get go.

Can they test effectively for HGH?

Where does that nonsensical, unsubstantiated accusation come from?
