Dr. Anthony Galea is under suspicion of giving banned and illegal drugs to players including Tiger Woods. The drugs for which he is under suspicions are actually used by the athletes to boost performance. According to New York Times, Dr. Galea is being investigated by FBI. Doctor Galea is of Canadian origin and has been treating many renowned players like Donovan Bailey, skater Patrick Chan and many football players.
According to The Times, many banned and illegal drugs were discovered from his custody. The drugs, which were caught, are human growth hormones and Actovegin. Actovegin is banned in the United States of America. The Actovegin was discovered from his bag when he was entering the U.S. from Canada in September. He was apprehended by the Canadian police in Toronto.
The law enforcement agencies of both the countries are running their own and independent legal processes against Galea. Royal Canadian Mounted Police is probing Galea for transporting, publicizing and disposing of the illegal drugs and other crimes related to them. He is required by the Toronto court to plead his version in response to accusations made by the police. He will appear before the court on Friday. But no accusations have been proved in any forum either in the U.S. or Canada. The lawyer of Galea, Brian Greenspan, is very optimistic about the out come of the police investigation and he told that it will exonerate his client.
New York Times has reported that some sources have given an inside clue of the investigation which relates to Galea’s computer data involving illegal drugs given to different Players. Dr. Anthony Galea has ruled out such possibility.
