Pro Golf's new anti-dope policy

The policy includes a list of banned substances including narcotics, stimulants, anabolic steroids, hormones, beta blockers and masking agents.

The organisations involved in the policy are the: PGA Tour; European Tour; US Golf Association; Royal and Ancient Golf Club; Augusta National Golf Club; PGA of America; and the LPGA Tour, the Associated Press reported.
