Tiger Woods' Doctor Pleads Guilty...or alternately...A-Hole's Doctor Pleads Guilty

[joeybee12]

BUFFALO — A Canadian doctor pleaded guilty Wednesday to a felony charge of bringing misbranded and unapproved drugs into the United States to treat high-profile athletes recovering from injuries, sometimes with substances banned by their sport and seen as potentially performance enhancing.

The doctor, Anthony Galea, who was the subject of a five-count indictment handed up last October by a federal grand jury here, admitted as part of his plea that he traveled to the United States numerous times from 2007 through September 2009 to provide medical treatment to athletes, including players in Major League Baseball, the N.F.L. and professional golf. None of the athletes were formally named in court papers.

The drugs at the center of the plea agreement included human growth hormone, which the plea agreement said was not approved in the United States for the uses that were intended by Galea, and Actovegin, a derivative of calf’s blood not sanctioned for use in this country.

Galea, 51, who had become known in recent years for novel blood treatments aimed at speeding recovery from injuries, faces a maximum sentence of three years in prison and a $250,000 fine. He also was required to forfeit $275,000. But prosecutors said the range of his sentence would probably be 18 to 24 months in prison, a fine of $4,000 to $40,000 and one year of supervised release.

1. He just did the blood spinning technique with Woods

Not sure if you can call him Woods' doctor but he has treated a lot of athletes. Javon Walker, Santana Moss, even Rockies' closer Huston Street.

2. The article only mentions a few...

I'm sure there's more to the story than we know right now...

3. Probably won't know more

because athletes weren't name in court filings though it is presumed to be NFL & MLB players. It has strongly been suggested Santana Moss is one of them. Probably only thing we will ever know is Galea smuggled HGH into the US.

Here is a timeline from ESPN at the time he was arrested. As to the part about Moss being strongly suggested picture Santana Moss as athlete 'A' when reading the timeline.

5. Did You Ignore The Words "Boston" On That List

Or are you so high up on your sanctimonious horse that you cannot read. Also, wasn't Big Papi also identified as a steroids user.

Douchebag.

6. Tempramental, aren't we?

A-Hole has admitted to seeing this doctor...so has Woods...you've got the biggest fraud in baseball on your team, dick.

9. No, I Just Fucking Hate Your Guts

Nothing Bi-Polar about it. Simply fucking hate your sanctimonius, pompus posts.

Oh, and I know that your pea-sized brain will think that this is a Yankees thing, but it's not.

I think that you do nothing more than find shit about other people's teams and players while ignoring the same bullshit that your teams engage in.

Your players have been busted for steroids. Your coach was caught cheating. Your payroll is second highest in MLB. Your fans act boorish at times as well. Yet, we don't see you post anything about that from you. You fucking hypocrite.

Fuck off and die, and take your fellow asshat in crime, madinmaryland, with you. No doubt that fucking asshole will be along soon enough to but his fat nose into this dialogue.
