The New York Times reported on its Web site Monday night, Dec. 14, 2009, that 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. Galea, 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.

A doctor who treated Tiger Woods was arrested for possession of performance-enhancing drugs. (Click here for more details.)
Los Angeles Times Sports Columnist Bill Plaschke says he suspected Woods of doping two years ago. As Plaschke points out, Woods would lose all credibility if evidence surfaces that he used performance-enhancing drugs.
Plaschke wrote that Woods' body looked like Barry Bonds'.
“His neck was oddly wide,” he wrote “His shoulders were absurdly broad. His biceps were busting out of a tight shirt.”
Plaschke stingingly concludes: "Yeah, it's a real shame Tiger Woods' name is being written in the same sentence as Barry Bonds'. Or is it the other way around?"
Victor Conte cited Plaschke on his Twitter page. Conte is the founder of the Bay Area based BALCO labs, which specialized in manufacturing and distributing undetectable steroids.
In an e-mail to this reporter, Conte wrote: "I have no knowledge of whether or not Tiger Woods used PEDs, but I can understand why people are suspicious. I don't know Tiger personally and have never had any connections to him. I've only admired his athletic exploits from afar like everyone else. However, in all fairness to him and the public, I'm hopeful that he will one day be forgiven and allowed an opportunity to heal his relationships at least with those who are most important to him."
According to the Examiner.com Performance Enhancing Drugs Issues Examiner Sean Murphy, Conte wrote, "Wonder why Tiger has had such a strong libido? Could it be the same reason he gained 30 lbs of muscle? Is there possibly a connection?"
Conte has since removed the Tweet.

If this guy opens his mouth and says tiger used drugs, boy oh boy.
I get the felling tiger has.
Tiger couldn't find a US doctor to perform "blood spinning"? If you choose to associate with a flake like Gelea, you deserve the scrutiny it generates.
Tiger doesn't need Elin, golf or performance enhancing drugs, he should join Amway, and sponsor his "girlfriends", as Amway also screws anything that moves. Amway is a scam, and here's why: Amway pays out as little money as they can get away with, so they support the higher level IBOs ripping off their downline via the tool scam. As a result, about 99% of IBOs operate at a net loss, while the top 1% make several TIMES more from their Amway tool scam than from the Amway products. Read about it on my blog, I suggest you start here: Google "Amway the rest of the story" and forward the information to everyone you know, so they don't get scammed.
never even thought about the steroids...Remember How he used to be invincible on the course. Then he said he was working on his swing to get better, we didn't know what he was working on so how could we say is swing wasn't working. All sportscasters saying how they had never seen him so Inconsistent. NOW we know why. There is way he ever shows his face again. Thank God.
