At a recent European Player’s meeting there seemed to be some confusion over the differences between the lists of permitted drugs on the US and European tours, with the number of Viagra type drugs causing the greatest concern.

A number of players including Paul Casey and Ian Poulter wanted to know why the Americans had three allowable drugs for treating erectile dysfunction, when they only had one.  The players were keen to point out that they had no need for such medication but mentioned it as a point of principle (methinks they do protest too much).  I can just imagine Poulter and Casey having a good snigger and making jokes at the expense of their American counterparts.

The European Tour’s anti-doping advisor responded that if they had checked more carefully they would have seen that the number of Viagra type drugs available was in fact the same for both Europeans and Americans.

My only observation is that I would have thought that playing golf was not compatible with taking Viagra and would be an  altogether uncomfortable experience.
