When Rush Limbaugh is getting drug enhanced, golfers will surely follow

In a world where professional athletes use performance-enhancing drugs, we normal people have become used to seeing inflated stats and surreal achievements that couldn’t be accomplished by normal human beings.

Many worry that the use of performance-enhancing drugs will spill over into golf, while others will point out that this has likely occurred. It seems plausible, as athletes and others either come forward or are busted, making this problem seem more serious. More than ever, it’s apparent that we are seeing unnatural performances by drugged-upped individuals.

Take Rush Limbaugh’s penis, for example. Limbaugh, who works in the radio industry and was a recent subject of a BadGolfer.com feature story, was recently detained for nearly four hours at Palm Beach International Airport after authorities said they found a bottle of Viagra in his possession without a prescription.

Much like Barry Bonds created controversy by putting up huge numbers at an advanced age, Limbaugh’s situation just feels wrong. Limbaugh is 55, smokes cigars, has a thing for pills, and has had weight issues. He has no business being sexually active, and only raises false expectations in his fans when its alluded to that he’s having Viagra-enhanced sex.

Aside from that, Limbaugh apparently was never taught proper prescription-buying skills, as this is his second run-in regarding improper medication. He could face a second degree misdemeanor violation, but experts point out that he has little to worry about, being a rich, famous, white guy.

But this is not about Limbaugh. No, it’s about the growing threat of performance-enhancing drugs that deluge us daily. It’s about a reality that is becoming more and more unreal, and it’s threatening to change us all.

It’s time the golf world took better precautions on this issue. Because, face it, if Rush Limbaugh’s penis can be medically enhanced, it’s only a matter of time before we see the likes of Corey Pavin blasting 350-yard drives.
