TrickyTrev Posted 16 December 2009 Posted 16 December 2009 Just remember folks were you heard it first ok?http://apnews.myway.com/article/20091215/D9CJPQJ80.html By the list of names of people already spinning and dismissing this story he has The National Football League (The one that doesn't test for HGH) behind him on this one, I'm guessing he'll be fine. Who knew that Human Growth Hormone only aided recovery and had no muscle developing effects? Certainly what the New York Times and ESPN seem to think.
Radovan's Caravan Posted 16 December 2009 Posted 16 December 2009 By the list of names of people already spinning and dismissing this story he has The National Football League (The one that doesn't test for HGH) behind him on this one, I'm guessing he'll be fine. Who knew that Human Growth Hormone only aided recovery and had no muscle developing effects? Certainly what the New York Times and ESPN seem to think. Not true. Whilst human growth hormone is a naturally occurring hormone that is responsible for general body growth in both men and women (helping the body protein while breaking down fat deposits) too much hGH results in increased muscle mass. Most Chinese athletes at the Beijing games were on it - hence their absurd outperformance. The official consensus is that there is no definitive test for hGH. The unofficial consesnus says there is but that the IOC (and others) prefer post BALCO not to test for it. The World Anti Doping Association bans all peptide hormones (the class of substance to which hGH belongs) and the PGA and most other golfing authorities adopted its protocol over two years ago. What's interesting in Woods case is that his doctor was caught as far back as October transporting banned substances. This lends weight to my thesis that what is going on here is more than a kiss and tale expose of Woods. This has all the hallmarks of a carefully orchestrated campaign against Woods designed both to bring him down and the golf media that rely on him for ratings. And who benefits from all this? It's interesting to note that all the media associated with one Rupert Murdoch have being going full pelt with this story since day one...
TrickyTrev Posted 16 December 2009 Posted 16 December 2009 I know that hardly any authorities use the approved test for HGH. I was just dismissing your anti-Tiger conspiracy theory on the grounds that the media are choosing to focus on the medical benefits of the drug in aiding recovery as opposed to its muscle building affects. Not that power based athletes like those in the NFL and PGA would be interested in those benefits.

You have a double problem here - I predicted that this would happen several days before the story broke. Secondly, ESPN and NYT are not Murdoch Media he's gunning for them in the same way he's gunning for all your terrestrial broadcasters.
Guest Mee-9 Posted 16 December 2009 Posted 16 December 2009 Joke : SKY SPORTS BREAKING NEWS !! It has been announced that next year's shirt sponsor for Tiger Woods will be Tampax. A spokesman from Tampax said, "To sponsor a cvnt going through a bad period is exactly what our company is all about."
Radovan's Caravan Posted 17 December 2009 Posted 17 December 2009 Elin Nordegren appears to be playing a weirdly proactive role in her husband's 'demise'. She's been out and about at gas stations in full view of the papparazzi minus her wedding and engagement rings. Recently bought herself a $2 million island home in Sweden where she plans to settle with the kids. And contrary to what was reported recently she wants a 'Tiger Free' Xmas as well as a Californicating divorce in the new year. Then there is the small matter of the Puma deal that this supposedly media shy homebird has negotiated - in direct opposition to the firm with the swoosh that in its last press release declared its intention to stand by her man (even if she won't). All of this points to the inescapable conclusion that all has not been well in the state of Tigerdom for eons. Looks like the ice cool Swedess has been carefully biding her time, priming the fuses to the bomb under Tiger's butt - tee hee! More a case of revenge best being a dish served cold rather than hell hath no fury eh?

(The connection to Woods that is) I really don't understand the need to get all conspiratorial about it all. The selling figures of the National Enquirer (The 'publication' that originally claimed he was having an affair, again nothing to do with Murdoch) probably tell you all you need to know about why the media have an interest in this story. If you're a global superstar and you have 11 mistresses you are going to fall, too many people will advance their career by your doing so. After that, every journalist with nothing to write is going to go sniffing round your past to see if they can find something mildly interesting.

hairy Posted 17 December 2009 Posted 17 December 2009 I find you strange!!You love a conspiracy theory! Not as much as he loves himself for telling us all about them so we challenge them and he can shout us down.
Manwell Pablo Posted 17 December 2009 Posted 17 December 2009 I love 50 cents comments on situation, gold.
BoneDog Posted 18 December 2009 Posted 18 December 2009 All I want to know is when Tiger's playing golf again. I don't care what muscle building chemicals he's taking or how many ho's he's plummed, I just want to see him swing that club and power some golf balls down the fairway n shit maaaaaaaaan.
Uncle Albert Posted 18 December 2009 Posted 18 December 2009 course you were Yes I was but seeing as you obviously know what I was thinking when I written that post then I will agree with you. Nob.

After that, every journalist with nothing to write is going to go sniffing round your past to see if they can find something mildly interesting. Please don't tell me how to suck eggs. There never was, is, or ever will be such a thing as investigative journalism. 'Scoop', Woodward & Bernstein and other tales of derring hackery do are carefully constructed media myths to convince the great unwashed that there is such a thing as a 'free press' and that the 'Fourth Estate' is an essential component of liberal democracies (code words for western banditry and corruption). National Enquirer (and latterly Radar Online - both part of American Media) has been exposing/knocking down celebrities (by using paid informants - most of them hookers) for decades. It is well know fact that it has strong ties to the American intelligence community. Whilst it is true that they got the ball rolling on this pre crash, post crash it has been mainly Rupert's show. There can be no doubt that this is a war on Woods and that it is designed to break him. It is being fought on three broad fronts - indiscretions, sponsorship and drugs and we can now expect on a daily basis a dispatch from either one, two or all three of these battlefields (and we are now on day 24). It is Chinese water torture, the ol' drip drip. Every 'revelation' is carefully timed and calibrated - this affair bears all the hallmarks of a premeditated campaign. Bad as Woods' behaviour has been he doesn't deserve this. There is some thing very sinister going on here. There has been no official sighting of Woods in public for over three weeks now and in the crazy little world of world superstardom that's the equivalent of eternity. A little strange how the best resourced media in the world are either not able to track him down (particularly when you consider that the papparazzi managed to snap his mother emerging from a private plane in California last Tuesday) or have all of a sudden come over all scrupulous about Woods' privacy (no pun intended on his Yacht's monicker). So, which is it - CAN'T tell or WON'T tell? I sincerely hope that this movie does not have a Whacko Jacko ending...
Guest Posted 20 December 2009 Posted 20 December 2009 There is some thing very sinister going on here. You what? A male sportstar, with more money than sense, who can't keep it in his designer pants, and unwinds with a little illegal "pep-me-up"? Sinister? Enough blokes not in the limelight behave like that, it's a non-story.

Sinister?Enough blokes not in the limelight behave like that, it's a non-story. And enough over sponsored superstars in the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB also behave in this way relatively comfortable in the knowledge that they won't be outed (let alone have their careers destroyed and be driven to the point of destruction) . Which begs the question: why is Woods being hounded if his indiscretions are, as you put it, such a non story? Why a non story that runs and runs everyday for three solid weeks with no end in sight? The only thing to compare with this is in modern times is Clinton and Lewinski (and the agenda here was clear). And why a non story where so much of the narrative is riddled with inconsistencies and where local politicans, law enforcement and healthcare officals and supposed eye witnesses supply suspect testimony? The more you dig into this the more you can't be sure of anything that is being reported about it and that suggests to any fair minded person that there is an agenda. Almost certainly a powerful economic agenda. The question that must be asked is cui bono?
Guest Posted 20 December 2009 Posted 20 December 2009 Why a non story that runs and runs everyday for three solid weeks with no end in sight? Why? Because, Chandler, people love to gossip, and people love to see someone else having a shitty time, especially if that person is richer than them, and was supposedly squeaky clean. So stories like this sell newspapers. That is why it keeps on going on and on and on. Not everything in life is complicated.
BoneDog Posted 20 December 2009 Posted 20 December 2009 The question that must be asked is cui bono? I'm not sure where exactly but I think it's somewhere on the east coast of the US. Although I'm not sure what Bono has to do with it.

Easily done - I mistook you for a person of intelligence.
