The triple major winner from Fiji withdrew from the PGA Tour's Phoenix Open yesterday after admitting he used the substance that has been found to contain a banned growth hormone.
"While I have used deer antler spray, at no time was I aware that it may contain a substance that is banned under the PGA Tour Anti-Doping Policy," said Singh, who could be hit with a worldwide suspension, in a statement. "I am shocked that deer antler spray may contain a banned substance and am angry I've put myself in this position. I've been in contact with the PGA Tour and am co-operating with their review of this matter. I'll not be commenting further."
