Maybe for drugs or opiates but blood alcohol content can be determined in a few minutes. As I said earlier I like Tiger but it would bother if he gets special treatment. If he was drunk he should be treated like anyone else, i.e., lose his driver's license, heavy fine, community service, maybe even a little jail time if his BAC was off the charts. We'll see.

I heard that last night, apparently that road has many curves and has quite a few accidents.

Despite the level of his injuries, he's still alive and even if he didn't survive, there are many that get into car accidents with injuries and/or die every day. So, why are those that died/got injured front page news? It's all about revenues due to his popularity. Just like anyone who gets injured, I wish him a quick recovery.
However, this is just another example that 'news' now days is for entertainment and a tool to generate revenue that reaches the masses.

That can only be determined by a blood test.

Tiger has a history of previous drug abuse and there were no skid marks on the scene as if he didn't try to brake at all.

He's a popular sports figure, so more people are interested in the news.

And you don't think the hospital tested his blood before he went under anesthesia? Why would you think that?

Tiger woods doesn’t pay anybody. The greedy rich people supporting him created jobs.

Personally, I would like some confirmation from the medical people involved as to whether there were alcohol or drugs in his system.
