Some very insightful comments found within and an interesting scenario on why Tiger would test himself.

I was actually in the senate hearing room for the clemens hearing in feb and filed this report:

I know Dr. Wadler well and will be interviewing him over the next few weeks.  John Paul Newport - one of the golf writers - has covered this and there were these articles as well:

T,
I thought the comments by the public insightful, everyone seems to be ready to throw Tiger, and most anyone else they don't like, under the bus.

A Canadian or British writer said it best a few months ago when the issue of testing came up.
You only have to test one player, Tiger, if he comes up negative it doesn't matter what everyone else is doing, they can't beat him anyway.

Its unfortunate society today questions the credibility of someone who wants to get tested voluntarily to set a precedence.  The same thing is happening to Dara Torres in swimming.  The culture of modern day sports in relation to performance-enhancing drugs is 'Guilty until tested Innocent'
