What do you base this claim on?

You have Johnson, Montgomery & Gatlin.

So drugs has never been a major issue in sprinting? Enlightening stuff.
Ghost of Owens inspires Bolt 2:09pm on 17 Aug 2009 PeteBrant, so Tim Montgomery & Dwain Chambers have spoiled it for all the clean sprinters over the last 25 years have they? Good man yourself!
Ghost of Owens inspires Bolt 1:50pm on 17 Aug 2009 What was the watershed moment in relation to drugs in sprinting? At what point did we move from a situation where practically every 100m sprinting champion was failing drugs tests to a situation where the fastest sprinter of them all isn't suspected of taking drugs?
Ghost of Owens inspires Bolt 09:03am on 17 Aug 2009 Faster than the countless drugs cheats from the past. Truly incredible.
Gunning for Garcia 9:44pm on 15 Jul 2009 "BMACO1981.. go watch the PGA back 9 again... he could be there all day and not make that many single putts from those distances. There was a putt on 15 that was in 3 putt range and he holed it. You call it inspired. I call it luck."

But.. he did the same thing at Carnoustie and at Birkdale, the guy is just a great putter when the chips are down. Was Tiger Woods lucky to sink that 10 footer to get into the play-off with Rocco Mediate last year? No, he just sinks putts when he needs to.

"Padraig is lucky to have won 3 majors - one would be about right for a golfer of his ability"

Harrington has won 3 majors because he's able to deliver the goods when it matters most. Who gives a stuff about "ability" - golf is about nerve + determination and Harrington has those qualities in spades. I love Garcia as a player but it's not because of luck that he's failed to win a major, it's because he's a very weak putter.

"Even on 18 he drained a 25 footer, which the stats show are made 6% of the time (thank Bob Kostas for that figure!). Obviously you need to be in position, but man he got LUCKY.."

Harrington was not lucky in the PGA, he was inspired. Sinking putts when the heat is on is what separates great players from good players.
Azinger fashions US in Europe's image 4:37pm on 22 Sep 2008 I think it's a bit harsh to suggest Woods doesn't care about the Ryder Cup - he just has other priorities, such as beating his best round on Tiger Woods 2009 on the Nintendo Wii.
The Lippys 09:42am on 22 Sep 2008 Surely the American fans "BOO S.A." chant deserves a mention - at least give them some credit.
Poulter's chance to reward captain's faith 2:19pm on 01 Sep 2008 Not entirely sure why everyone focuses on the Poulter pick as the controversial one - Casey's reputation far exceeds his performances in any big tournaments, at least poulter showed up well in the British Open
