Dustin Johnson Revealed

 

Bad boy golfer Dustin Johnson has been suspended for six months from the PGA Tour for testing positive for cocaine, according to a new report.

In 2001, a then 16-year-old Johnson and four other teenagers were involved in a burglary during which one of them took a gun.

Johnson was later bullied into using fake ID to buy bullets for the gun at Wal-Mart by a friend's menacing older brother Steve Gillian.

Later that month Gillian was charged with murder after shooting a man named Jason Ward multiple times in the head. Gillian was convicted of murder and received a life sentence.

Johnson had to pay restitution for the burglary and to testify at the trial. In 2009 he was pardoned by the state of South Carolina. 

In May 2012, Johnson’s agent David Winkle insisted his client had not been serving a drugs suspension from the PGA Tour when he spent three months out of the game.

His coach Butch Harmon was forthcoming in a 2011 interview, revealing: 'Dustin and I had a come-to-Jesus conversation about getting his personal life in order. 

'I told him he needs to figure out who he is and how committed he is to utilizing his talent. He needs to eliminate some of the, shall we say, extracurricular activities. 

He’s a fun-loving guy, I realize that. But there’s a time to play and a time to work and he needs to understand that better.’

Johnson has failed two other drug tests before, including one for marijuana in 2009 and another one for cocaine in 2012. according to Golf.com.

The 2012 test also earned him a suspension, but it was never made public, the website reported.

Johnson says he quit the game to seek 'professional help.
