So why was Daly making a comeback.
Should check before declaring double standards Zebra, Marion Jones is also nominated, now I wonder why she had a break from sport.a massive zebra said:Considering what he came back from he has no right winning it.

Warne appears to have gained his place by virtue of reputation. The fact he was returning from a drug ban should have been taken into consideration, but Warne is one of those characters whose flaws and misdemeanours are constantly brushed aside or ignored.
Alcohol is a drug, Daly abused that drug to the point where he could no longer compete. And I dont just mean from playing.twctopcat said:As in John Daly? I thought he was just a recovering alcoholic, or am i missing something??
Yeah true but i thought you meant illegal drugs, though they are both just as harmless. I think i remember seeing how john actually still drinks, he finds it better than t total, which he cannot seem to cope with.Scallywag said:Alcohol is a drug, Daly abused that drug to the point where he could no longer compete.

He doesn't drink on the course, and i doubt that is a rule, so long as you can conduct yourself properly, which probably isn't the case when drunk. And i never said diuretics were illegal drugs.Scallywag said:Correct me if I'm wrong but playing drunk is illegal in professioal golf.
Also diuretics are not illegal drugs.
Playing any professional sport under the influence of alchol is illegal. And I never said you said diuretics were illegal if you were infering I said you said diuretics were illegal.twctopcat said:He doesn't drink on the course, and i doubt that is a rule, so long as you can conduct yourself properly, which probably isn't the case when drunk.
