Fijian golfer and former world number one Vijay Singh is suing the PGA Tour for banning him from competition without a test for using deer antler spray.
Singh admitted in January to using the substance, which contains small amounts of a growth hormone banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
The PGA suspended the former world number one after his admission, but the 50-year-old successfully appealed.
Singh’s lawsuit, submitted in New York, claims the ban left him “humiliated, ridiculed, and emotionally distraught”.
Singh said in a statement that the PGA Tour not only treated him unfairly, but displayed a lack of professionalism that should concern every professional golfer and fan of the game.
