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

APNewsBreak: Canadian doctor says HGH was for him {AP News}

Uh, I was under the impression that Barry Bonds was either hiding in seclusion on Alcatraz or 6 feet under somewhere with Jimmy Hoffa.

But apparently not….His agent now declares that his career is over. Wow, thanks for that little tidbit of info. I guess we can all move on with our lives.

Bonds has insisted he won’t retire, leaving open the possibility that he might yet catch on with another team. But that hasn’t happened, and his agent doubts that it ever will, according to the report.

“It’s two years since he played his last game, and if there was any chance he’d be back in a major-league uniform, it would have happened by now,” his agent, Jeff Borris, said Wednesday, according to the report.

Barry, let me save you some time here buddy. No team in their right mind is bringing you on. In fact, no minor league team would even use you as a gimmick to bring in more fans. You know what, let me go one step further…we need a guy for our office softball team in the spring. I’d rather go with Milton, our resident fat slob that can’t breathe normally because he has a doughnut permanently lodged in his esophagus.

How’s that make you feel?

Afterwards, ESPN’s Hannah Storm tried to talk to all of the Yankees in attendance, but only Johnny Damon would speak on the record. What he had to say was pretty interesting.

Storm asked him about how he felt about Rodriguez’s confession, and Damon kept saying, “He could have done something worse.” When Storm kept pressing Damon about what was worse, he finally said, “He could have murdered someone.”

If true, I think its fair to say that Clemens should supplant Pete Rose as the Greatest Sports Liar of all-time.
