Report: Woods took pain medication day before crash

Golf Betting Lines

03/12/2010 - Orlando, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tiger Woods' wife told police her husband had not been drinking, but had taken pain medication the day before his early- morning car accident outside their Isleworth home, according to paperwork obtained by the Orlando Sentinel.

Investigative records obtained by the newspaper from the Florida Highway Patrol paint a clearer picture of the moments following Woods' Nov. 27 car crash, which touched off allegations and then an admission that the golfer was unfaithful to his wife.

The paperwork, according to the Sentinel, says that Elin Woods was not allowed to ride in the ambulance with her husband because the crew believed it was a domestic violence case.

The newspaper reported that officials uncovered no evidence to support that domestic violence had occurred. Woods said during a statement last month that "there has never been an episode of domestic violence in our marriage, ever."

The golfer was unconscious and laying on the pavement after his black SUV struck a neighbor's tree, according to the records. Neighbors brought him a blanket and pillow and his wife brought him a pair of socks.

Elin Woods told officers that she heard the crash and jumped into a golf cart to find it. She said she broke the vehicle's rear window and pulled her husband free. The paper said a golf club was found near the driver's door.

Elin Woods retrieved two bottles of pain pills while she waited for the ambulance to arrive to take her husband to the hospital, according to the report. She told an officer that the golfer had not been drinking, but had taken the pain medication Vicodin earlier.

A Windermere police officer told troopers he didn't smell alcohol on Tiger Woods or in the golfer's black Cadillac Escalade, the report says.

The FHP later tried to obtain the golfer's medical records to determine if he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. After several attempts to get them at the hospital, they were told by an Assistant State Attorney that there was insufficient evidence for a subpoena, the report says.

Also in the report obtained by the paper:

- A Windermere officer saw no blood on Tiger Woods' face or clothes, but there was a cut on his lower lip, which left his mouth bloody.

- A lawyer for the golfer said he would supply troopers with video from the Woodses' security system, but never did after he said he had problems operating it.

- Troopers who arrived later in the day to interview the golfer and his wife about the incident were told by Elin Woods that her husband was sleeping and could not be awakened.

- Officers found no evidence of domestic violence in or around the house and spotted no bruises or scratches on Elin Woods.

Woods has not played competitively since the accident for which he was ticketed for careless driving and paid a $164 fine. But reports about a possible return in the next month or so have fueled speculations of his imminent comeback.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook

Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds.  The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.

Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.

Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).
