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.
