First, it was Gary Player. Now, Butch Harmon says that he believes there are golfers using performance enchancing drugs. Harmon is apparently quoted in The Guardian as saying:
You have it (testing) in all sports and I think it is a very good thing it is coming to golf.
We would be pretty naive to think that someone hasn't taken a growth hormone or a steroid just to allow themselves to recover from injuries or to hit more balls and (make) your body react better.
I don't know of anyone specifically who is taking anything. I have my own suspicions but I don't know for a fact so I would never say anybody's name.
I expect there to be a backlash for Harmon's comments, just as there were for Player's. We are going to need some concrete evidence that a professional golfer has used them before we hear anymore of these unsubstantiated theories.
