Is there anyway that Lupica doesn't write about this tomorrow? I'd say there's a two percent chance he doesn't have a column. And I can already picture the prose.

"So now it's about the drugs with Tiger Woods, and I'm not talking about Ambien or Vicodin. Now the story's no longer about Rachel or Jessica or Mandy or even Elin. Now the story's about Bobby and Gary and Arnie and Lee. But most of all, like it has been since he was first on the Mike Douglas Show, this Tiger story is now about a fat blonde kid from Ohio named Jack. Because if Tiger's hooked up with this doc from Canada - what, Victor Conte wasn't on IMG's payroll? - then everything we thought we knew about his pursuit of the great Nicklaus's record goes up in flames faster than his career as a watch spokesman." And blah blah.

Yes - if he heads to Canada to get some HGH in hopes of losing his "Diminutive" handle.

He's been indicted. If it goes to trial, names will come out:

A federal grand jury in Buffalo indicted the Canadian doctor Anthony Galea on Thursday on five charges that he distributed performance-enhancing drugs to professional athletes.

The indictment formalized charges laid out in a criminal complaint filed by the federal authorities in May that accused Galea of providing human growth hormone to a retired N.F.L. player and an unapproved drug to a current player. The charges include conspiracy, fraud and lying to border agents.

Galea has said he used H.G.H. himself and provided it to patients in Canada, but never gave H.G.H. or other performance-enhancing drugs to pro athletes.

Among the athletes he treated were Tiger Woods, Alex Rodriguez, Jose Reyes and Dara Torres. Galea has said he treated Woods with a blood-spinning therapy that is not considered doping and gave Rodriguez anti-inflammatory medicine.

According to the indictment, Galea treated more than 20 professional athletes in the United States between July 2007 and September 2009, providing many with H.G.H. and other performance-enhancing drugs.

Boom, please change the title of the thread or you'll be sued for defamation by Drs. Andrews, Jobe, et al. Thanks.

I think when all is said and done, we'll decide that the benefits of HGH far outweigh any medical risks and it will become widely used.

I actually agree with that, but I'm guessing it will take us 30 years to get to that point. I'll be 67 and screaming "Give me some of that shit!!!"

The doctor's office is in our west end Toronto neighbourhood. One of my sons who plays university football up here has been to his sports medicine clinic to treat an ongoing hamstring problem
