So that's where he gets his distance from. Must give it a try

Could well be hence need time to clean up , my understanding is that if you have a problem with drugs and come clean then you are given a chance and help to do so , in this case the PGA are helping him .......

Ok i admit it , i take Solpadol before and during my round , and my dealer is the NHS.

Why not wait for the truth.
I would find it hard to believe he was on crack cocaine and playing world class golf.

We know that but we don't know the truth.
Everything atm is speculation.

Who said crack cocaine? I think cocaine was mentioned which is slightly different although both are created from the coca plant

 

[Swinger]

I'd go along with the crack theory, he certainly looked like he was on something pretty strong on and around the greens at times.

Watching this myself.

They must know something else as they're intimating pretty strongly that it is about drugs.....?

Dustin has some history in that regard.

:rofl: Genuine 'beer spat over monitor' moment there!

 

[NWJocko]

Dustin has some history in that regard.

Recreational or performance related?

Didn't know that, although the way he interviews I could see him smoking 20 doobs a day!!

 

[brendy]

I think we need to be careful mentioning/speculating until the truth is out on the public domain.

Im not sure if im surprised or not if its recreationally drugs

Golfers dont really appear to live the "Playboy Lifestyle" etc to get involved in that sort of stuff BUT Johnson would certainly look to type.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

No idea what the time it takes to get the effects out of the body, so if he is a regular cocaine user, and I AM speculating, could he have still had it in him when he played?

Not sure how you can "look" the type?

I work offshore (where we get randomly D&A tested) and the info I've been given by our medic that carries out the tests is that for a urine test.....

Amphetamines 1 to 5 days
Cannabis 2 to 3 days for one off use (up to 45 days for persistent use)
Cocaine between 12 hours and 3 days
Crystal Meth 1 to 4 days
Ecstasy 1 to 4 days
Heroin 2 to 5 days

EDIT - chronic or heavy use of cocaine can result in a positive test up to 10 days after a binge.

If you were to look at golfers then Johnson would certainly imo be the one more suspectable to the playboy lifestyle or partying etc

Interesting. I assume the US Tour will be supporting his rehabilitation but won't' be looking for any retrospective action or investigate if he had played positive before. I didn't think they were random testing (or am I wrong) so wonder if he took the step or was "persuaded"
