Do you think there is an issue with PED usage on the professional tours?

I agree with the sentiment that golf should be above this. We trust players to call penalties on themselves, but then we have someone stand over them to watch them pee?
All sports should be above it, but when money and fame are on the line, people do different things.
I get that. I guess what I mean is deception is a part of so many other sports. Soccer players pretending they were tripped, baseball players pretending they caught a ball they didn't catch (or Derek Jeter pretending to be hit by a pitch he wasn't hit by), basketball players flopping, football players pretending to be hurt to stop the clock, etc. Dishonesty is applauded as "doing what it takes to win" in so many sports. In golf, honesty is at the core of the game. It's what it's all about. Do guys break the rules on purpose and hide it? Occasionally. But it's not accepted as part of the game the way it is in other sports.
I found it interesting that in 2 of the last 3 Feherty shows both Sneeds and Kuchar feel that the tour is wasting its money with drug testing, though both admit that it is not going anywhere soon with Olympic golf in the mix for at least the next several years.
