No wonder he's been a good golfer. Arnie didn't use 'em; neither did
Nicklaus, Snead, etc.

I blame it on affirmative action. Certain ethnicities shouldn't be
allowed into certain areas of society until they have shown that they
have earned it.

Report: Doctor being investigated in PED probe


NEW YORK (AP)�A Canadian doctor who has treated golfer Tiger Woods,
swimmer Dara Torres and NFL players is suspected of providing athletes
with performance-enhancing drugs, according to a newspaper report.

The New York Times reported on its Web site Monday night that Dr.
Anthony Galea was found with human growth hormone and Actovegin, a
drug extracted from calf�s blood, in his bag at the U.S.-Canada border
in late September. He was arrested Oct. 15 in Toronto by Canadian
police.

Using, selling or importing Actovegin is illegal in the United States.

The FBI has opened an investigation based in part on medical records
found on Galea�s computer relating to several professional athletes,
people briefed on the inquiry told the Times on condition of anonymity
because they did not want to be identified discussing a continuing
investigation.

The anonymous sources did not disclose the names of the athletes, and
Galea told the newspaper �it would be impossible� for investigators to
have found material linking his athletes to performance-enhancing
drugs.

According to the newspaper, Galea has developed a blood-spinning
technique� platelet-rich plasma therapy�to help speed post-surgery
recovery.

Galea visited Woods� home in Florida at least four times in February
and March, the newspaper reported, to provide that platelet therapy
after his agents were concerned by his slow recovery from June 2008
knee surgery.

Asked about Woods� involvement with Galea, agent Mark Steinberg told
the newspaper in an e-mail: �I would really ask that you guys don�t
write this? If Tiger is NOT implicated, and won�t be, let�s please
give the kid a break.�

Woods announced Friday he is taking an indefinite leave from golf to
work on his marriage after allegations of infidelity surfaced in
recent weeks.

A message was left by The Associated Press late Monday night seeking
comment from Steinberg.

Torres told the newspaper Galea found a previously undiagnosed tear in
her quad tendon.

�Excluding draining my knee, he has never treated me, but I did see
his chiropractor who did soft-tissue work on my leg,� she said in an
e-mail to the Times. �That was the extent of my visit with him.�

Her agent, Evan Morgenstein, told the AP that Torres was not available
for comment Monday night.

Brian H. Greenspan, Galea�s criminal defense attorney, said an
investigation will vindicate his client.

�Dr. Galea was never engaged in any wrongdoing or any impropriety,�
Greenspan said. �Not only does he have a reputation that is
impeccable, he is a person at the very top of his profession.�

Galea, who acknowledged he has used human growth hormone himself for
10 years, told the newspaper he never gave any athletes HGH, which is
banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency. And Galea told the Times he
has never combined HGH or Actovegin with his platelet treatments.

�All these athletes come see me in Canada cause I fix them, and I
think people just assume that I�m giving them stuff,� he told the
newspaper. �They don�t have to come to me to get HGH and steroids. You
can walk into your local gym in New York and get HGH.�

Galea is also being investigated by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police
for smuggling, advertising and selling unapproved drugs as well as
criminal conspiracy, the Times reported.

I'm trying to imagine what drug in the world could possibly improve golf...

Valium?

Maybe not to improve golf, but to recover from injury faster (knee surgery)

I don't necessarily have a problem with drugs that speed recovery...
if they are relatively safe when used as directed and if the athlete
gets off it when recovered (assuming it is an athletically banned
substance).

The word you reach for there is "prescription".

And I don't find it odd that a celebrity doctor got caught at the border with a
bag full of celebrity goodies. Anyone who knows Tiger should be cleaning up
their own acts these days, with all the attention on him!

But if a rich person can't get a prescription for a drug to help recover after
surgery...

Down the block from my crib (literally 150 meters, folks) is the world class La
Costa Country Club. It has a row of paintings of those white guys in their Hall
of Fame, with T on the end.

I really don't think they'll be taking it down!

I thought it was broadcast as a valium substitute.

I lived near Augusta, Georgia back in the 70s, home to the Masters.
Back then, they wouldn't have even let Tiger on the course unless he
was a caddy.

I actually have respect for Tiger; on one tour he couldn't play at a whites-only
course, and civil rights activists were on his case for not making a big deal of it.

Regardless of the big deal was already done, some people have to learn that not
every successful black is automatically a civil rights activist.

Tiger sticks to what he does best - golf and blonds...

Either way, he's trying to sink it with as few strokes as possible...

A dozen women?! That's was the source of his current headaches.

Well the PGA does. The process that he used will probably be on the
banned list next year as reported by the Golf Channel this evening.
