Dustin Johnson has been suspended for six months from the PGA Tour for testing positive for cocaine, according to a new report.
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' following a chequered
personal history which includes a DUI arrest, drug rumours and links to
a gangland murder.
The
world No 16, who earlier this year announced his engagement to model
girlfriend Paulina Gretzky, said he needed the time to focus on his mental health, physical well-being and emotional foundation.
Johnson,
30, who finished 12th in The Open two weeks ago and was fourth in the
US Ryder Cup standings, is well known for leading a party lifestyle that
led to him being labelled an unfulfilled talent.
