The first golfer to be suspended by the PGA for testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance is asking a federal court to lift his doping suspension. An attorney for golfer Doug Barron filed a lawsuit in Memphis on Thursday seeking an immediate injunction from the court to let him play. Lawyer Jeffrey Rosenblum said there would be a hearing in U.S. District Court on Friday. He said Barron is seeking a decision in time to compete in the PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament next week. Barron, a 40-year-old journeyman who lost his tour card three years ago, was suspended this month for one year. Under its doping policy, the tour announces a suspension but does not disclose what substance a player used.
