FBI Investigating Sports Doctor Who Treated Tiger Woods
WASHINGTON — Now comes the unwanted publicity associated with golf legend Tiger Woods.
The New York Times is reporting that the FBI is investigating a Canadian doctor, a sports medicine specialist, who has treated Woods, plus an untold number of N.F.L. players and Olympic medalists.
Investigators are looking into allegations that the doctor, Anthony Galea, provided athletes with performance-enhancing drugs, the Times reported, attributing the information to “several people who have been briefed on the investigation.”
Galea was busted at the U.S. Canada border in September after carrying a human growth hormone and Actovegin, a drug extracted from calf’s blood, in his medical bag. Actovegin is illegal in the U.S.
Canadian authorities are investigating him, the Times reported.
