Dick Pound Strikes Again

The greatest name in all of sports belongs to the head of the World Anti-Doping Agency: the honorable and mighty Richard Pound, known to friends and potential dopers around the world of athletics as good ol' Dick Pound. The funniest things are those you do not have to make up, and Dick Pound's name--which happens to be Dick Pound--is definitely one of them.

We take this excuse, then, to say that Dick Pound does believe Gary Player's claim that someone in the world of professional golf is taking steroids, though he be completely shocked if it were Phil Mickelson. Okay, he didn't say that last bit. But he did say this:
"It comes from one of the icons of golf who has no particular ax to grind out there now, other than to try to maintain the integrity of the sport. It's a wake-up call that has not come in such stark terms to date from the golf community. I don't know how widespread it is because there is no testing."
...which means more work for...hmm...the International Anti-Doping Agency! As objective as a man can get, that Dick Pound, who in addition to being named "Dick Pound" is also head of that same agency. In the meantime, we'll believe golfers are roided up when one of them breaks their club, pauses for a moment, and then hits their next drive by swinging their caddy like a five-iron. Our money's on Daly--that guy is ripped.
