Champions Tour to follow PGA drug-testing policy

CONCORD, Mass. – The Champions Tour will follow the PGA's policy on steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs.

"We'll adopt whatever policies the PGA Tour does," Champions Tour president Rick George said Monday. "I certainly don't [think it's a problem]. But I think if the tour adopts a policy, it's important that the Champions Tour adopt the same policy."

PGA commissioner Tim Finchem said last week his tour is getting closer to a policy banning performance-enhancing drugs, with testing likely to follow. The LPGA Tour and European Tour have announced plans to implement policies in 2008.

Players must be 50 or older to play on the Champions Tour.

"We do use a lot of Advil out here," tour spokesman Michael McPhillips said.
