    Huge. Freaking. News.

    This is the loose thread that will unravel HGH like Balco unraveled roids.

    This could also be the kill-shot for Tiger's career.

    The Tiger and Torres connections are really damning.

    "The F.B.I. investigation of Dr. Anthony Galea, a sports medicine specialist who has treated hundreds of professional athletes across many sports, follows his arrest on Oct. 15 in Toronto by the Canadian police. Human growth hormone and Actovegin, a drug extracted from calf’s blood, were found in his medical bag at the United States-Canada border in late September. Using, selling or importing Actovegin is illegal in the United States."

    Why's that damaging? I mean, what was Steinberg thinking that, even if perfectly legal platelet therapy was all Tiger got, that people would immediately conclude he's doing HGH, doping and whatever else. I mean, why would he think people would jump to that conclusion? Not like anyone would ever do something like that.

    The best sarcasm is the sneaky kind.

    I'll reiterate the question I asked this morning, before this story broke:

    His sex drive appears to have been in high drive long before he worked with the doctor.

    Even better for BYH, the Steelers were using platelet therapy. Cheaters.

    And the Times actually wrote extensively about it in February.
