FBI Agents Contact A-Rod about Doctor

[Imperial59]

TAMPA, Fla. -- Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez has been contacted by federal agents regarding a Canadian doctor under investigation for alleged drug violations not limited to professional athletes.

 

Rodriguez could join Mets shortstop Jose Reyes, as well as other non-baseball clients, among those who have spoken to authorities about Anthony Galea, a Toronto-based sports medicine doctor who has also worked with golf icon Tiger Woods.

 

"I'm aware of an investigation, and I plan on cooperating," Rodriguez said at George M. Steinbrenner Field after the Yankees' workout.

 

Rodriguez declined to comment when asked about the nature of his relationship with Galea, who faces charges in Canada of conspiring to smuggle human growth hormone and other drugs into the United States.

 

"I can't really get into that," Rodriguez said. "I know you guys have to ask those questions, but I have to speak to those guys first. You guys will know pretty much all at the same time."

 

The New York Times reported that people who have been briefed on the investigation have information that Rodriguez was treated by Galea at some point. Those people told the newspaper that they did not know when, or how often, Galea met with Rodriguez.

Doesn't sound like it matters much to A-Rod, but it could implicate Jose Reyes and Tiger Woods who also saw the doctor.

Beltran is said to be next on the list.

It isnt an "implication." Its a non-FDA approved procedure that isnt legal. It is surprising, kinda like blood doping, but it has never been proven to be beneficial.

That's a spin job on a doctor known to give hGH treatments. It's illegal and against MLB rules.

ARod will claim it was a youthful indiscretion and throw his cousin under the bus. I don't think that he'll pull a "Clemens" and throw his ex-wife under the bus. Maybe he'll blame Madonna this time. He is really a slimy piece of trash without an ounce of credibility.
