GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
The issues that athletes have with addiction to uppers and pain medication is pretty well documented. I do not think that Tiger Woods has any sort of painkiller addiction. And I think he probably has a prescription for whatever he took.
However, it is still really odd to hear him say that he "took some things" to help relieve the pain issues in his knee following his comeback on the final round of the U.S. Open Sunday.
The reason it is odd is that, well, to be frank, golf is much harder on pain killers. Your senses are numb and muscles relaxed, which is good for the amateur who swings to hard. But for an athlete like Tiger who relies on pinpoint timing to perform, pain medicine just does not seem like the most logical option.
It could also explain, depending on what he took and when he took it, the opening round double bogey fiasco of his.
