Tiger Woods on Steroids? Not a Chance!

Anyone who claims that Tiger Woods is on steroids needs to get to a gym and hit the weights with a whole lot more intensity. Tiger is in great shape, but his condition isn't inaccessible to someone who seriously does the work to look that way. It's just an excuse, and a bad one at that.

I'm not into idolizing sport stars, but Tiger Woods seems to be a classy guy. I can't stand all of those pampered punks in football, baseball, and basketball. You can't help but with Tiger the best because he seems so grounded.

Amazing, isn't it? Tiger Woods looks nothing like a guy on steroids but I guess since he has the dedication to look better than (what used to be) the typical golfer, and better than most men who sit at a bar enlarging their beer belly, he must have gotten that way through drugs.

Here's another good one for you. I read last week (I think it was Sports Illustrated but I'm not sure) about an article about how Tiger isn't good anymore (gee, just because he hadn't won a major yet this year) because he's been lifting too much! Idiots! I wonder what their comment is now that he just won the PGA?

That's unbelievable, is that guy a good golfer or what!!

Losers in life are always trying to knock down those that have achieved, it is because they envy what they will never be able to do themselves.

Tiger winning the PGA was just what was needed to silence his critics.

He is a role model for young people who want to be inspired and succeed in their lives.

Tiger is the best, forget the rest!!!!

I agree with all the comments above. Tiger is a great example of a good athlete and great role model. He doesn't brag and talk about himself in the third person (think Terrell Owens). He doesn't do a lot of obnoxious things that other professional athletes do.

His physique is very attainable like Scott mentioned. That is why I think he is a good fitness role model as well.

Those who think Tiger is on steroids have serious mental problems. Just because the man has progressively gotten better throughout his career everyone thinks he must be doing something to cheat.
Unike all other sports golf is the only one that hasn't been corrupted since it started and golfers have the respect of the game not to cheat their way to victory.

Why so defensive about Mr. Woods? Can anyone explain why he used to be lean and mean and overnight now looks like Barry Bonds? Must be some weight training program!

You know, there is a point in a mans sporting career when the money does not matter, you must win at all costs.

Are you serious Rob!?!?!?!?

He's been constantly dedicated and working hard to improve any possible aspect of his golf game since a very young age. He even said himself that he tried when younger to put weight on and it just didnt happen. Through YEARS of hardwork he is now in terrific shape as he gets closer to his prime fitness years.

Jealously will get you no where!

Andy,

I completely agree with you. Tiger is a great role model who got there from hard work.

Good comment!

I'm not going to accuse Tiger Woods of being on steroids but I think it is something that needs to be looked at in more detail. Rob took this point to the extreme with no evidence at all. Let's start with the facts. Tiger is significantly bigger and more muscular now than he was when he started on the PGA tour. He is extremely dedicated and a hard worker so it is impossible to accuse him of being on roids; people simply assume he works very hard in the gym. This is a fair assumption. But, if you look at how much muscle growth he had between the 2006 and 2007 seasons it is shocking. Steroid use in all sports has proven to be extremely effective with power, flexibility, and hand-eye-coordination. Anyone who thinks that these improvements wouldn’t help your golf game is a fool. I would never believe Tiger took roids unless he admitted it himself but the picture comparisons of Barry Bonds when he started playing to him now are similar to Tiger's pictures. I'm just saying "What if?"

Chuckles,

I don't see as dramatic of a change as Bonds. I'll give Tiger the benefit of the doubt. However, you argue your point well and maybe now I'd consider the tiny chance that it is possible.

Name another person on the planet who has a body-fat percentage that is dramatically lower at the age of 30 then it was when he was at the age of 20. As in Tiger's case.
Name any professional athlete who is NOT on Roids who can claim this. These are guys who work out and train harder than Tiger Woods, if not just as hard, yet they gain in body-fat and he loses body-fat as they get older.
You says roids wouldn't really help him anyways? How about if he hits 2,000 practice shots a day and his competitors only hit 500 because the roids allow him to recover overnight without any soreness or fatigue.
Come on, this is not about penis envy, I could care less about someone else's success in life. That's a stupid attack on my position.
Why not simply require ALL professional athletes to submit to blood tests to determine if they are "juicin'?" Then all the inuendo and slams against those who are wondering would go away.

Brian,

You have a good point. I wish we could test all of these guys, then people who are completely natural would stand out even that much more.

Tiger has gotten noticeably bigger in the last few years and has had three surgeries now. A little odd? Now that they are goiing to test for steroids he gets surgery. mmm? He can now skip the tests or blame positive on rehab. chemicals. No popular or PC but
let's see Tiger get in line for the test.

ask any orthopedic surgery about tiger woods…. a stressed tibia is common with steroid use….
