*Dec 15 - 00:05*Things are getting messier for Tiger Woods.  Woods’ Canadian doctor is being investigated for illegal drug violations in the United States and Canada.

Dr. Tony Galea was arrested in October and his Toronto clinic was raided by Canadian authorities after he was found to be in possession of illegal drugs at the U.S. / Canadian border.

What were those drugs?  They included HGH and Actovegin, a drug made from calf’s blood that’s banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency.

Earlier this year, Galea had been under scrutiny for a controversial treatment he performed on Tiger Woods.  He flew to Woods’ home in Florida, at his agents’ request, to give him platelet-rich plasma injection therapy, a procedure known as “blood spinning”.  The process involves spinning blood in a centrifuge and then reinjecting it injured joints in order to try and accelerate the healing process.

Stay tuned.  This one could be interesting.
