Tiger Woods on Steroids?: You Be The Judge

1 of 14

We thought the worst for Tiger was behind him, or, at the very least, that no closet was big enough to hold any more skeletons.

Looks like we were wrong—remember, Tiger owns more than a few houses, and more than a few closets.

Behind door number—which one are we on now?—is the revelation that the doctor who treated Woods after his knee injury has been indicted in a doping scandal by the FBI, and is accused of treating athletes with steroids.

Could Tiger have used an ulterior method of bulking up? Did those workouts and diet regimens we heard so much about be just subtle nods in the direction of Barry Bonds?

The information we have is limited, but here it is: the progression of Tiger Woods' physical appearance since breaking onto the scene in 1995.
