NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. - Tiger Woods says he has met with U.S authorities investigating a Canadian doctor accused of distributing a human growth hormone.
Woods said Thursday the meeting took place last week in Orlando, Fla., and he answered all their questions.
Woods has said he was treated by Dr. Anthony Galea, but he has repeatedly said he has never taken performance-enhancing drugs.
He said Galea used a blood-spinning technique to help his recovery from knee surgery.
Galea, who is not authorized to work in the United States, is accused of repeatedly entering the country to treat professional athletes.
Galea also faces Canadian charges, but his lawyer Brian Greenspan has said his client did nothing unlawful Canada and the charges were without merit.
The U.S. complaint alleges Galea provided a retired National Football League player with human growth hormone after his career had ended and treated a current player with Actovegin, a derivative of calf's blood used to heal injuries which is not approved for use in the United States.
Galea is charged in Canada with selling an unapproved drug under the Food and Drugs Act, conspiracy to import an unapproved drug and conspiracy to export a drug under the Criminal Code, and smuggling goods into Canada under the Customs Act.
