A-Rod’s doctor was using HGH for himself

You’d think given Alex Rodriguez’s recent problems with steroids, HGH, and other performance enhancing drugs he’d use more discretion on the doctors used to treat him.

But A-Rod either thinks he is above that or is just simply too stupid to put it all together.

The doctor in question, Anthony Galea had an assistant stopped last year at the U.S./Canadian border with two vials of HGH for him.

Dr. Anthony Galea also told The Associated Press an assistant who was stopped at the U.S.-Canadian border in Buffalo, N.Y., last year was carrying only a minuscule amount of HGH — which Galea said was for his own use. The doctor reiterated that he has never given the drug to an athlete.

“I only brought enough for her to do two injections into me because I was away for two nights,” said Galea, who believes authorities and the media have exaggerated the accusations involving him and his practice.

He reiterated that he ONLY prescribed A-Rod anti-inflammatories. I believe the swelling wasn’t only in A-rod’s hip but for his over sized head.

This tidbit of information is also not helpful to his case

A former doctor for the Canadian Football League’s Toronto Argonauts, Galea is known for using a blood-spinning technique — called platelet-rich plasma therapy — designed to speed recovery from injuries. Among the athletes he has treated are golfer Tiger Woods, swimmer Dara Torres and several NFL players.

So there is no doubt, given this information that Galea likes to skirt a few rules to get results for his athletes. And even if you think A-Rod is innocent of actually using PEDs in this case (insert snide remark here), he’s at the very least guilty of extremely poor judgment.

Fool me once A-Rod, shame on you. Fool me twice, well then, I think George W. Bush explains it perfectly here
