Ace golfer Tiger Woods' problems compounded further when his wife Elin told a Florida state trooper that he had been drinking before his car crash last month and had been prescribed addictive drugs, reported Times Onilne.
Despite being told that the 33-year-old "had consumed alcohol earlier in the day" and that he had been prescribed a sleeping drug and a painkiller, both of which can compromise the ability to think and react, a request by the Florida Highway Patrol to obtain his blood test results from a hospital was refused by the state attorney.
"Insufficient information provided to lawfully issue subpoena," the written request was marked on November 30, by Steve Foster, the assistant state attorney.
According to TMZ, the celebrity website, hospital sources had said that Woods was admitted to hospital as an "overdose" case and that doctors had inserted a tube into his trachea to help him to breathe.
The Woods saga continued yesterday when his mother-in-law, Barbro Holmberg, collapsed with stomach pains and was taken to hospital, days after flying in from Sweden to support her daughter, Elin Nordegren, 29, after allegations of the golfer's infidelity.
She was discharged 11 hours later and returned to the Woods family home. For the second time in 12 days, paramedics were called to the house on the Windermere estate in Orlando, after receiving a 911 emergency call at 2.35am.
