«Breaking News» Robert Garrigus handed three-month ban by PGA Tour after failing drugs test

Robert Garrigus has been suspended for three months by the PGA Tour after failing a drugs test.

The 41-year-old American reached a career-high of 35th in the world in 2012 but is currently ranked 450th and has not played since missing the cut in the Puerto Rico Open in February.

A statement released by the PGA Tour on Friday read: 'The PGA Tour announced that Robert Garrigus has violated the PGA Tour Anti-Doping Program by testing positive for a substance identified as a drug of abuse.

Garrigus, who previously admitted to smoking marijuana, tested positive for a drug of abuse

'In accordance with the PGA Tour Conduct Policy that applies to violations involving drugs of abuse, he has been suspended for a period of three months.'

In an interview with Golf Digest in 2011, Garrigus admitted that he and several other players on the Nationwide Tour had smoked marijuana during events. In 2003 he entered a rehabilitation centre near San Diego for a 45-day programme.

Garrigus won his sole PGA Tour title to date in 2010 and has lost three play-offs. He also finished third in the 2011 US Open behind Rory McIlroy.

In a statement on an unverified Twitter account bearing his name and a link to his PGA Tour profile, Garrigus apologised for his actions and said he had failed a test for marijuana following a 'long period of sobriety'.

Garrigus added that he would use his time away from the game to work on regaining his sobriety and warned of the 'potentially severe consequences' of marijuana use, even though it is now legal in some states in America.

A statement...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
