AP Source: Tiger Woods interviewed in Galea probe (HGH)
Breitbart (AP) ^ | 6-30-10

Posted on 06/30/2010 8:19:37 PM PDT by truthandlife

Tiger Woods has been interviewed by federal authorities investigating a Canadian doctor accused of distributing human growth hormone, a person familiar with the investigation told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation of Dr. Anthony Galea is ongoing.

Woods previously acknowledged that he's been treated by the Toronto-based doctor but insisted that he did not receive any performance-enhancing drugs.

"Tiger willingly spoke to the authorities and cooperated fully," Woods' agent, Mark Steinberg, said in an e-mail. "It was confirmed that because he did nothing illegal, he is not the subject of any criminal investigation. Because there is an ongoing investigation involving others, there will be no further comment."

The New York Times first reported Woods' interview, citing two unidentified people.

Barbara Burns, a spokeswoman for U.S. District Attorney William Hochul, declined comment.

The New York Mets' Jose Reyes and Carlos Beltran are among athletes who have said they've been contacted by federal investigators about Galea, who denies any wrongdoing.

In April, the New York Yankees' Alex Rodriguez met with three officials from Major League Baseball and told them he didn't receive performance-enhancing drugs from Galea.

Galea, who is not authorized to work in the United States, is accused of repeatedly entering the country to treat professional athletes from Major League Baseball, the NFL and Professional Golfers' Association.

No athletes are identified by name in the government's criminal complaint or supporting affidavit, which describes the 50-year-old Galea traveling to meet with professional athletes in New York City, Boston, Tampa Bay, Washington and other U.S. cities from July through September of last year.

“...and his wife is divorcing him with a 750 mil take plus preventing him from bringing his skanks around the children.”

And some folks are saying the $750 million will come with a non-disclosure agreement so the ex can’t talk about the use of performance enhancing drugs.

Where does that nonsensical, unsubstantiated accusation come from?

Mostly from looking at the changes in Woods' body that happened very quickly over a short period of time. Visual comparisons of readily available photos of Woods show his body building trajectory is very similar to many other athletes who have since either been caught or admitted using steroids.

“...that happened very quickly over a short period of time...”

BULL!
Anyone who watches the sport, recognizes he’s been in great shape from the start. The muscle mass has increased at a steady rate.
I put on 27 lbs. of muscle in 15 months, at age 43 without illegal substances.

And he was seeing a Canadian Doctor who's under investigation for supplying HGH.

There's too much information out there to dismiss these allegations as "BULL." Woods' extramarital affairs were pretty well known in the sports press, but the sports press understands that their job is not to cover sports, it's to sell sports. If massive body changes combined with seeing a doctor that was involved in dispensing HGH illegally doesn't make a couple of dots that allow you to at least see a possible connection, I doubt anything I say will make any difference. Let's just say we agree to disagree.

There you go, playing the race card when you are losing an argument. Great liberal tactic, don't see it much on this forum though.

Gee, TiHgHer is connected to a PED peddler, his wife is being paid 750m to close her mouth, 25% of tour players believe he uses......c'mon
