Tiger Woods confirmed yesterday that he was interviewed last week by authorities investigating Canadian doctor Athony Galea, saying he "answered all their questions."
Galea is being investigated for allegedly providing performance-enhancing drugs to professional sportsmen in both the United States and Canada. "I cooperated and answered all their questions and that was it," Woods said yesterday after shooting a first-round 73 in the AT&T National tournament.
Woods said the meeting took place in Orlando, Florida, and lasted a "couple of hours".
Woods has said his treatment by Galea consisted of platelet-enriched plasma treatments for Woods' left knee. The "blood spinning" treatment is designed to speed recovery from injuries.
Woods has denied taking any performance-enhancing drugs.
Galea, who is not licensed to practice medicine in the United States, was charged in May with conspiracy, smuggling, unlawful distribution of Human Growth Hormone and introducing the unapproved drug Actovegin into interstate commerce. Last Thursday Galea's former assistant, Mary Anne Catalano, pleaded guilty to one count of lying to border agents in a plea deal that could make her a key figure in the case against her former boss.
