| | GOLFONLINE - LPGA Starts Drug Testing |
 | | Finchem has maintained that because golf is a sport of integrity, in which players police themselves, drug testing is unnecessary, but he's had to amend his position. |
 | | The PGA Tour's nine-man policy board, which includes players Joe Durant, Davis Love III, Scott McCarron and Joe Ogilvie, met in Ponte Vedra, Florida, on Monday, and although the new FedEx Cup took up a good portion of the agenda, drug-testing was among the issues discussed. |
 | | The Tour recommended that the board develop a list of prohibited substances and an educational outreach program that would teach players how they can get into the body, what are the health risks, the nature of any potential testing and the penalties for a substance being detected. |
