Wejo,
You make some excellent points about Galea and assuming the worst about his patients. While the jury is still out on the guy, there can be no doubt that he and Lindsay do legitimate medicine.
However, I think you're wrong to criticize the NY Times for breaking the story. When an internationally acclaimed sports doctor linked to many famous athletes is about to be indicted in Canada for drug charges, and is under investigation by the FBI in the U.S. for potentially supplying PEDs to athletes, that is by itself a story regardless if there is any connection to Tiger Woods. I'm not sure why the story is just breaking now, but it is a story nonetheless.
I don't think I'm alone in saying that I am past the point of being cynical about PED use and elite athletes. I have given too many athletes the benefit of the doubt, only to be burned later. Even though HGH is legal in Canada (it is actually legal in the U.S. too), I find it amazing that Galea would associate himself with a WADA and USADA banned PED whose notoriety has now reached the same stature as EPO and andro.
I am actually an acquaintance of sorts of Bill Romanowski, one of Galea's clients. My best friend from high school played and roomed with him at Boston College. I know for a fact that Romo was using steriods at BC. Yet in his book and in that ridiculous 60 minutes interview, Romo said he only started taking PEDs towards the end of his NFL career. He is still lying out his ass.
As for Tiger, who knows. Being treated by Galea certainly makes him guilty of nothing. But let's just say if evidence does surface about Tiger, I for one will not be shocked. I'm way past that point.
