Tiger Woods had five drugs, including the opioid painkiller hydrocodone, in his system when he was arrested in May on suspicion of driving under the influence, according to a toxicology report released on Monday.


A urine test revealed four other medications along with hydrocodone — which is sold under the brand name Vicodin. Also present were the powerful painkiller hydromorphone; anxiety drug alprazolam (also known as Xanax); sleep drug zolpidem (also known as Ambien) and THC, which is a chemical component of marijuana.


The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office made the results public on Monday. "As I previously said, I received professional help to manage my medications," Woods said on Monday. "Recently, I had been trying on my own to treat my back pain and a sleep disorder, including insomnia, but I realise now it was a mistake to do this without medical assistance. I am continuing to work with my doctors, and they feel I've made significant progress. I remain grateful for the amazing support that I continue to receive and for the family and friends that are assisting me."

Woods, 41, was arrested on May 29 in Jupiter, Florida.
