To each their own. There was also some suspicion with pain killer addiction with the incident in 2009 where his wife handed the police empty bottles of Vicodin and Ambien. Im not saying he is an addict at all, because I have no idea and that would be unfair to just assume he was. But the suspicion is obviously present.
The thing is, though, with all these suspicions, there is also a completely reasonable explanation. Wright Thompson wrote about him going days without sleep. Rory has talked about getting texts at 3 in the morning where Tiger was working out so I would expect that he's been on Ambien for some time. I would actually be surprised if it wasn't in his system that night. I suppose, at the point you're talking about, Vicodin probably wasn't relevant to his knee surgery but he's hardly ever not been dealing with something since that point. I've said before that he could be addicted to pain killers. My point is that this is really the first time there's been an issue that would make it even close to obvious.
