Dustin Johnson shocked the golf world on Thursday when he announced that he would be taking an indefinite leave of absence from the PGA tour to deal with “personal challenges.” It appears that we now know what those personal challenges are, and they come in the form of a white powdery substance.
According to Golf.com:
Dustin Johnson is serving a six-month suspension from the PGA Tour after testing positive for cocaine, a source has told Golf.com.
According to the source, Johnson has failed three drug tests: one for marijuana in 2009 and two for cocaine, in 2012 and 2014. He was previously suspended for the 2012 failed test, but that suspension was never made public. Under the PGA Tour’s drug-testing policies, the Tour is not required to announce any disciplinary actions against players who test positive for recreational drugs.
Not good, not good at all.
