Florida, Dec date (THAINDIAN NEWS) It looks like controversy and scandals favorite child is none other than the ace golfer Tiger Woods. Tony Galea who had flown to Tiger Woods home in Florida earlier this year to treat the golfer is now under investigation for his alleged role in illegal drugs including human growth hormone (HGH).
Tony Galea had treated the golfer earlier this year with his platelet-rich plasma injection therapy, also known as “blood spinning.” Now he is under the scanner for the possession of illegal drugs including human growth hormone (HGH) and Actovegin - a drug extracted from calf’s blood that has been banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
The Canadian authorities searched his Toronto clinic, and found the banned drugs in his clinic. It is not known whether the mistress-rich Tiger Woods received the banned drugs or not during the course of his treatment with the Canadian doctor.
A Royal Canadian Mounted Police spokesman said that charges against the Toronto based doctor are expected to be filed on Friday in a Toronto courtroom, and while an attorney for Galea told the Daily News that his client is innocent of any wrongdoing, U.S. anti-doping officials said that Galea is “definitely on our radar.” And the U.S. law enforcement officials are also believed to be investigating Tony Galea.
