Jesper Parnevik's moronic, ignorant statements on steroids and golf are totally false

Friday July 20, 2007 | 02:16:07 pm 165 words, 5050 views  

Here’s something Jesper Parnevik had to say in regards to Gary Player’s recent comments on steroids in golf:

“I thought it was stupid,” Parnevik said. “I personally don’t know one person who used them.”

Parnevik said steroids wouldn’t help a golfer play better anyway.

“It wouldn’t advantage you at all,” Parnevik said. “Nobody would play better golf. You probably would do a lot worse – your touch would disappear.”

There’s really not much to say to this aside from pointing out Parnevik’s incredible ignorance and outright stupidity when it comes to the fact that performance-enhancing drugs would benefit golfers.

While it’s very possible that Parnevik doesn’t know of any golfers who use steroids, the simple fact is that steroids would help golfers, just as they would help football players, cyclists, soccer players, baseball players, etc., etc.

For Parnevik and others to deny this is the height of elitist ignorance, as well as inherently dangerous to the sport. It was a truly moronic statement by Parnevik.

I personally know Pro Golfers that use steroids. The above statement, while a nice thought, is not 100% correct. Golf may not be the primary sport to find steroids in, but the drugs can and have been used to add distance to one's drive, and maintain higher endurance during the event.
