It doesn't matter if we all "know" he used the stuff. If it couldn't be proven, he's not guilty (of something that shouldn't be a crime anyway), and charging him with obstructing the investigation seems like an end run toward the ability to claim some kind of prosecutorial success in the matter.

West Palm Beach, Fla. - The LPGA Tour yesterday released its policy for drug testing that will start next season, making it the first professional golf organization to require randomly selected players to prove they are clean.

The policy is similar to the outline released a day earlier by the PGA Tour, which will not start testing its players until July.

The LPGA will suspend players one year for a first positive test, two years for the second offense and a lifetime ban for any more violations. It will not discriminate between performance-enhancing drugs and recreational drugs.

The ladies are showing more balls than the entire major leaque baseball money machine.
