Is Tiger done?

Allegations have been "retracted" now :D


Journeyman golfer Dan Olsen retracted claims Tiger Woods had been suspended by the PGA Tour for using performance-enhancing drugs after both the PGA Tour and Woods' agent, Mark Steinberg, vehemently denied the claims.

Olsen told ESPN.com's Michael Collins "it was only my opinon," courtesy of ESPN.com's Bob Harig. "Everything I said on that radio interview was only my opinion and not based on any firsthand knowledge or facts," Olsen told ESPN.com. "I want to make a full retraction to everything I said for the entire radio interview, and I apologize to Tiger, Nike, Phil [Mickelson], [commissioner] Tim Finchem and the PGA Tour."

The reality here is there will be a place for performance enhancing drugs in the future in all sports.

They will decide which ones is all.

Ie. Hgh... We produce it then we stop. Then we get it again from drugs... That's not bad thing.
 
I was a pretty big Tiger Woods fan, .. until he did what he did to his wife and family.

Now I don't care if he ever hits another fairway, or hits another green, or if he ever makes another putt.

Reap what you sow. It's the way it works.

Yea that was completely sleazy. I think his wife has moved on though. Probably the hundreds of millions she got helped.

Seriously he definitely had a problem & hopefully he's a different man now with women.

somebody said he was a real jerk though to his fans. Ugh.

Life does have a way of knocking you on your butt if you get out of line. You'd think he'd learn.

Kids growing up without Daddy there in the morning, tucking them in at night, ... there if they have a nightmare. Not there on Christmas morning with Mom.

Kids life changed big time, .. forever.

That's life for many kids. I get your point though.

He probably traveled a lot anyway.

That certainly doesn't make it right.

Of course It would be great if they had stayed together.

He can't do a thing now about his bad behavior but move on & be a better man & hopefully he's a great father. He may be a guy who should not be married.

On the contrary, your risk of cancer is increased by 400% if taking HGH -- shown in a study completed last year in men, aged 50 - 65, by the Institute of Longevity at USC.

Just like estrogen, there are reasons why we stop producing it.

400%? Wow.

That's like asking cancer to come on in!
 
true but the 400% increase is only important if we know the chance of getting it in the first place. If your chance is .01%, then a 400% still only puts you at 4%, not that significant.

Interesting.


Still I should have qualified it with, some form of some kind of enhancement. I did use hgh as an example.
Science/biology will find a way to CONTINUE to "augment" the body.

The body is our weakest link.

That's not how it was measured. The incidence of cancer was 4 times higher than the normal population.

Similarly, smoking increases the risk of the top 7 kinds of cancer 10-fold.
 
but what is the risk of getting it in the normal population?

It is like saying you double your chance of getting X, which is bad if say 25% of pop get something but if 10000 in the world have it, doubling the risk is meaningless when there are 8 billion of us

Of the entire population, approximately 40% will get cancer in their lifetime. About half of those will be fatal, or about 600,000 last year in the US.
Approx.180,000 were younger than 65.

About 30,000 people were killed in traffic accidents last year.

If you think seat belts are a good idea, then limiting cancer risks is a much better idea.

I hate seat belts. Leave me alone when I drive and let me decide if I want to wear one or not! Get out my life govt!

Rant over.
