Former world number one golfer Vijay Singh is facing a lengthy ban after owning up to taking a banned substance.

The 49 year old Fijian issued a statement confessing to using deer antler spray, which is banned under the US Tour's anti doping policy.

Singh says he is absolutely shocked that the deer antler spray may contain a banned substance and he is angry that he has put himself in this position.

He admits that he paid $9,000 for the spray in November and that he uses it every couple of hours.
