The Portrush man confirmed that he used an over-the-counter decongestant which includes a banned substance.
GRAEME McDOWELL HAS been fined €114,588 and suspended for one LIV Golf event after violating its anti-doping policy.
The 2010 US Open champion will now miss the upcoming event in West Virginia while his results, as well as those belonging to his team Smash GC, have been expunged from the competition in Nashville which led to the suspension. “In an effort to manage it, I used a generic Vicks nasal decongestant without realizing it might be on the banned list.
“LIV’s Anti-Doping Policy is designed to be thorough and transparent. Unlike some other tours, LIV enforces these rules rigorously, which made this particularly challenging for me.
