BUFFALO, N.Y. -- U.S. authorities have charged a Canadian doctor with unlawfully treating professional football players with unapproved drugs, including human growth hormone.

Dr. Anthony Galea, of Toronto, is named in a federal criminal complaint filed Tuesday in Buffalo.

The complaint charges the doctor with lying to federal officials, smuggling, unlawful distribution of HGH, introducing the unapproved drug actovegin into interstate commerce and conspiracy to defraud the United States.
According to court documents, Galea's clients include at least three National Football League players. One allegedly had two HGH kits delivered to his home, and another allegedly received actovegin injections.

Galea also treated Major League Baseball players and pro golfers, but the charges pertain to the NFL players. No athletes were named.

Galea's lawyer was in court and not immediately available to comment.

His defense should be that they all passed league drug tests, therefore could not have been using anything

Tiger could go down real hard. If he never wins another major and it's proven that he was using HGH and/or steroids he'll forever be seen as nothing but a chemical monster.
