I just googled it (from the winter olympics fact sheet):
The IOC is responsible for the testing
programme carried out during the period of the
Games, which starts on the opening day of the
Athletes’ Village, 30 January, and ends on the
day of the Closing Ceremony, 23 February.
So it looks like you are right, drug testing could be a factor here…
The only thing about that is he should have just said that at the start and not made up some bullshit lies about the zika virus. It was clear as day he had fuck all interest in it and there was no need to lie about it and fuck up the reputation of the olympics or the “threat” of the zika virus out there.
But again, goes back to my original point, why the fuck did they go so hard to get golf in the olympics when the players dont give 2 shits about it.
Scores getting progressively worse as the tournament progresses. A 73 today, 71 on Friday after an opening 69 on Thursday. Smashed up his three wood as well today after a particularly bad shot on 16.
