Vijay Singh withdrew from the Phoenix Open on Thursday, a day after saying he used deer-antler spray and was "absolutely shocked" that it may contain a banned substance.
Singh cited a back injury in pulling out before the first round.
The 49-year-old Fijian first revealed he used the spray in an interview with Sports Illustrated. The magazine said Singh paid one of the owners of Sports With Alternatives To Steroids $9,000 last November for the spray, hologram chips and other products.
The magazine also reported Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis sought help from SWATS in his recovery from a torn right triceps. The company says its deer-antler substance contains a banned performance-enhancer connected to human growth hormone.
Singh said in a statement Wednesday that while he used deer-antler spray he was not aware he may have been violating the PGA Tour's anti-doping policy.
Doug Barron is the only player to be suspended under the tour's anti-doping policy, missing part of 2009 and most of 2010.
"No doubt, Randy probably was the most gifted receiver to ever step on the football field, but I was one of the guys that was always going to outwork you. I might not have been like the most talented, but I was going to outwork you, and a lot of guys don't want to sacrifice like that." -- Former 49ers star Jerry Rice, on Randy Moss calling himself the best receiver in NFL history.
