Galea Charged By The Feds

((HT: WGRZ-TV Buffalo- Kompos))

How's this for a Tuesday laundry list...???

Doctor Anthony Galea is now accused of making false statements to federal officials, smuggling, unlawful distribution of human growth hormone (HGH), introducing an unapproved drug (actovegin) into interstate commerce, and conspiracy to defraud the United States.

A criminal complaint against Dr. Galea was filed on Tuesday by U.S. Attorney William Hochul of Buffalo.

In a news release, Hochul claims an affidavit supports the complaint that Dr. Galea "repeatedly entered the United States from 2007 to September 2009 in order to treat numerous professional athletes in the country. The athletes were said to be from Major League Baseball, the National Football League, and the Professional Golfers' Association. It is alleged that Dr. Galea's billings to three athletes from the NFL alone amounted to approximately $200,000."
