Sports Medicine Pioneer Subject of Doping Inquiry

This article was reported by Don Van Natta Jr., Michael S. Schmidt and Ian
Austen and written by Mr. Van Natta Jr.
A Canadian doctor who has treated many N.F.L. players as well as Olympic
medalists like Donovan Bailey and the worlds top golfer, Tiger Woods, is
under criminal investigation in the United States. He is suspected of
providing athletes with performance-enhancing drugs, according to several
people who have been briefed on the investigation.
The F.B.I. investigation of Dr. Anthony Galea, a sports medicine
specialist who has treated hundreds of professional athletes across many
sports, follows his arrest on Oct. 15 in Toronto by the Canadian police.
Human growth hormone and Actovegin, a drug extracted from calfs blood,
were found in his medical bag at the United States-Canada border in late
September. Using, selling or importing Actovegin is illegal in the United
States.
Dr. Galea is also being investigated by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police
for smuggling, advertising and selling unapproved drugs as well as
criminal conspiracy. He is tentatively scheduled to appear in a Canadian
courtroom on Friday.
Dr. Galea and his lawyer say his innovative treatments do not break any
laws or violate antidoping rules in sport. Were confident that an
investigation of Dr. Galea will lead to his total vindication, said Brian
H. Greenspan, Dr. Galeas criminal-defense lawyer. Dr. Galea was never
engaged in any wrongdoing or any impropriety. Not only does he have a
reputation that is impeccable, he is a person at the very top of his
profession.
Dr. Galea has developed a reputation among elite athletes for accelerating
recovery after surgery or for helping them avoid surgery altogether by
using a blood-spinning technique known as platelet-rich plasma therapy, as
well as other pioneering procedures, on knees, elbows and Achilles
tendons.
