The players were not named, but two people briefed on the investigation said the doctor, Anthony Galea, and his assistant were headed to Washington to treat a Redskins player in September when the assistant was stopped at the United States-Canada border with human growth hormone, prompting investigations in both countries.HMMMMMMM... WHAT IF... WHAT IF TIGER USED THIS STUFF AND IT HELPED HIM WIN ALL THOSE CHAMPIONSHIPS AND IT ALSO JUICED HIM UP SO MUCH HE BECAME A SEX ADDICT?!
The complaint charges Galea with illegally distributing human growth hormone, introducing the unapproved drug Actovegin into interstate commerce, making false statements to investigators, and conspiring to defraud the United States.
A lawyer for Galea, Mark J. Mahoney, did not immediately return a call for comment, nor did the federal prosecutor’s office.
A spokesman for the N.F.L. said league officials have not been told of the identity of the players.
“We obviously have a very strong interest in learning who these players are and about their involvement with any prohibited substances so that we can enforce our policies,” the spokesman, Greg Aiello, said. “When we have had evidence of illegal purchase, possession, or use of H.G.H., we have imposed discipline and are fully prepared to do so again if the facts support it.”
N.F.L. officials have been in touch with law enforcement and will continue to cooperate with the federal authorities as the case moves forward, Aiello said.
In Canada, Galea faces four charges related to H.G.H. and Actovegin, a drug made from calves’ blood. American investigators have focused on Galea’s ties to professional athletes, including Alex Rodriguez, Tiger Woods and several other baseball and football players.
MAYBE.
IT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING, DOESN'T IT?
IF TRUE, HE SHOULD RETURN ALL THE PURSES HE EVER WON.

I disagree with you ABSOLUTELY.
The future of the world will include human beings who are altered in all sorts of ways. That is the future, and it is happening already.
Human beings will no longer just live with the bodies they were born with.
No one in America objects to extreme sportsmen who take their lives in the hands snowboarding, skateboarding, etc.
But, if a basketball, football, baseball player, or golfer takes some chances with his health using performance enhancing techniques, then all of the sudden people get all moral telling him what he ought and ought not be able to do with his body.
That's BULLSHIT.
using substances to alter performances when they are banned is unsportsmanlike.
end of story.
why not start leagues which allow them, if you are so into the idea?
it would be like ufc versus boxing.
