photo credit: msspider66 In November 2006, the LPGA Tour instituted a drug testing program for all participants in LPGA Tour events. The new policy began with the 2008 season. The LPGA became the first tour in golf to design a plan to administer a testing program in professional golf.
The presence of any quantity of prohibited substances will constitute an offense. The program has a Prohibited List which sets the standards for testing. It is the players responsibility to know what types of conduct may constitute an offense and what substance and methods are actually on the list.
According to the program, a player shall be personally responsible for any Prohibited substance found in her body regardless of how it entered her body. For more information go to www.LPGA.com.
