He later told officers at the testing facility that he was on four medications Soloxex (sic), Torix (sic), Vioxx and Vicodin but the Jupiter (Fla.) Police Department has not yet released the toxicology report.On Monday, Woods wrote on Twitter: Im currently receiving professional help to manage my medications and the ways that I deal with back pain and a sleep disorder.

"Tiger has been dealing with so much pain physically. And that leads to insomnia and sleep issues. This has been going on for a long time."In May, on TigerWoods.com, Woods wrote It has been just over a month since I underwent fusion surgery on my back, and it is hard to express how much better I feel. It was instant nerve relief. I havent felt this good in years. Asked about those comments by ESPN.com, Steinberg said: "I don't think you can put two and two together. It's such a complicated state, such a complicated situation. If you're in that much pain for so many years. ... Tiger has been trying to figure out how to live a life and actually have a life. He is where he is right now. I'm glad he is taking responsibility.The arraignment for Woods' arrest is scheduled for Aug. 9, but he could qualify for a diversion program in which the DUI charge would be downgraded to reckless driving. That would result in probation and a fine, and his drivers license would not be suspended.
