A 51-year-old Canadian sports doctor, Dr. Anthony Galea, of Oakville Ontario "was charged with selling an unapproved drug, conspiracy to import the drug; conspiracy to export and smuggling goods into Canada."
The investigation began in September when his assistant was caught departing Canada with Actovegin of which the assistant subsequently reported saying he was going to be administering the drug to some of their patients outside of Canada.
Dr. Anthony Galea was also suspected of administering the drugs to his patients within his own medical facility which prompted Canadian officials search the facility which resulted in the seizure of unapproved drugs; one of which is believed to be Actovegin.
One of his patients was Tiger Woods who he administered treatment to after Tiger's knee surgery last year. Tiger's faster-than-anticipated recovery has been attributed to Dr. Anthony Galea and his use of widely-accepted therapy and possible administration of human growth hormone.
