Tiger Woods arrested for DUI

So, you end up running the Mercedes into stuff at 3 A.M.?
Then being asleep when the cops show up?
Obviously a lot more to this.
Why? Unless tests show different, reports show he had one pain killer in his system.
Sure, he could be addicted to them, but there's hasn't been anything that makes you wonder about addiction.
Where have you seen this? From what I have seen, he admitted to police he was on 3 different prescribed pain killers, as well as a 4th pain killer that was pulled off the market over a decade ago. Also, one of the prescribed pain killers was Vicodin, which is highly addictive. Lastly, he admitted in his statement to the press that he had a reaction to a mix of drugs, so that would lend me to believe he had more than one in his system.
What were the drugs you saw he was on? He had back surgery a month ago. A couple NSAIDs and a pain killer aren't some sign of pain killer addiction. This is just another case of everyone wanting to make something that happened much bigger and deeper than it actually is for reasons unknown to me. If the guy was addicted to pain killers he would have been able to go more than 10 minutes standing up before the last surgery. There's no evidence and it's just an attempt to make the failure of Tiger Woods even bigger and "better."
It's 2017, and John Daly has zero DUI's and one PGA win, while Tiger Woods has one DUI and zero PGA wins... It is indeed a bizarre year.

Vioxx is the drug that has been off the market for 13 years. The fact that he had access to a drug that is illegal tells you there may be an issue, at least it does for me.
Like I said, one pain killer and it was the only approved drug. Forgive me for not lumping NSAIDs in as pain killers, since they aren't.
No, it doesn't indicate there's an addiction problem. It indicates he's a professional athlete that can get his hands on what he wants. Vioxx was a very effective drug.
Cheating is one thing but ruining the lives of others who were telling the truth is what made him not a man.
In golf on the green I'll call a "Lance Armstrong". Partner asks what that is and I say "1 ball left" of the cup.
I kill myself!
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.
Man, are you on Tiger's payroll or something?
Vioxx is not "illegal." Merck took it off the market due to safety concerns. It is not a narcotic. It is the equivalent of a really effective ibuprofen. No one is catching a buzz off of it.
IMO it would have to be between Simpson and Paterno, and since Simpson actually slaughtered two people, lied about it, and celebrated his innocence (while rubbing the victims' families faces in it as well), it's no contest.
Uh, no, I'm just into actual facts instead of constant speculation and extrapolation. Nothing being reported as far as the drugs he was using should be remotely suspicious considering he had a back operation recently.
Paterno definitely has the "fastest" fall from grace, though. Going from winningest D1 coach to the child rape scandal to dying all within 2 months.
I don't know man, what Paterno did is right behind OJ, to me. It affected a lot more people. I know, I know, it wasn't murder, but **** he was covering up some bad ****. This guy, so far, cheated on his wife a lot and if that's getting close to those other guys, then there's laundry list of professional athletes that need to be on the list. Then he passed out driving once which could have been much, much worse.
I'm not sure about the other 3 drugs, but Vicodin has a "do not operate a motor vehicle" type message. Some states actually have written laws against driving at all while using prescription pain killers, but I'm not up to speed on Florida's laws.
Here is Cali's qualifications:
- You drove a vehicle,
- While you were under the influence of narcotic prescription painkillers (or the combined influence of painkillers and alcohol or another drug), and
- The painkillers impaired your physical or mental abilities to such a degree that you could no longer drive in the way that an ordinarily cautious sober person would drive under similar circumstances.
Assuming that the drugs were not taken for recreation. Keep in mind, this wasn't a Tuesday afternoon at 3:00 and I highly doubt that he was just prescribed these meds that day.
