Alex Rodriguez Linked To HGH Doctor

On Monday Alex Rodriguez was officially linked to another drug controversy when Dr. Anthony Galea, a physician based in Toronto who is under investigation in both the US and Canada, confirmed that he treated Rodriguez last March in relation to a bout of inflammation following his hip surgery. Galea, who was stopped at the US border last year and was found in possession of human growth hormone, confirmed that he prescribed anti-inflammatories but not HGH.



After finally removing the rather large and cumbersome monkey from his back last October as he batted .365 with 6 home runs and 18 RBIs in the postseason, things couldn't have gone any worse for Rodriguez in the past month. For the second season in a row, and following on from last year's steroid confession, Rodriguez has again proven to be a Spring Training embarrassment for the New York Yankees. The Yankees are said to be seething after Rodriguez reportedly denied any link to Galea when he was first questioned by the owners in December last year.
