This entire process is open to abuse because the PGA is testing itself (see government, CIA/NSA, military and police internal investigations for relevant similarities). What are they going to do if it's one of their top ten players? What if VJ's extraordinary fitness isn't completely due to all the hours spent in the gymn? My guess is you won't ever hear about it. On the flip side, should the PGA ever feel the need to show that its drug testing program has teeth, and want to give it an air of legitimacy, look for them to expose one sacrificial, lower-rung, relatively unknown player. I actually expect this to happen, because if they don't tag anybody, the suspicion will linger that they're hiding positive results (a misnomer from the PGA's perspective). But if they expose just one player, the pressure is off them and it will appear that correct procedures are being followed, and everything is on the up'n'up, there's zero tolerance, <insert favorite buzz phrase here> .

And Elling, you have in just one article used up your entire allotment of double entendres, puns, similes, and metaphors for the entire year, and henceforth will need to write articles that don't require a degree in English Lit. to understand.

VJ might be very physically fit and as such he will draw suspicion to himself, but there's another top golfer who will always get a pass.  Steroids are known to cause articular cartilage damage as well as bulking up the body to a degree not to mention fits of temper.  The only person I can think of that fits all three observable categories usually wears a red shirt with black slacks on Sunday.  Not that I'm accusing anyone, but he's a much better suspect than VJ.

Yeah, I didn't mean to single out VJ (is he even top 10 anymore? not sure). There are also other substances like Human Growth Hormone to test for, steroids aren't the only item. Something like Valium might provide a different kind of benefit to someone who gets too nervous under pressure.
