A new book about New York Yankees' third baseman Alex Rodriguez's use of performance-enhancing drugs throughout his career includes revelations about another sports superstar: Tiger Woods.
Released Tuesday, Blood Sport: Alex Rodriguez, Biogenesis and the Quest to End Baseball’s Steroid Era, co-authored by Tim Elfrink of the Miami New Times and Gus-Garcia Roberts of Newsday, claims that the Canadian sports doctor Anthony Galea who treated Rodriguez also visited Woods 14 times between January and August 2009 and charged Woods a total of $76,012 as he recovered from knee surgery following his 2008 U.S. Open victory. Previous reports had identified only four or five visits.
In 2011, Galea pled guilty to smuggling human growth hormone and other drugs into the United States to treat professional athletes. Both Woods and Galea have said that Woods only received only legal platelet-rich plasma therapy from Galea.
The book also reports that according to the Florida Department of Health, Dr. Mark Lindsay, an associate of Galea's who also treated Rodriguez, visited Woods' 49 times from September 2008 to October 2009 and charged Woods' $118,979.

Explains a lot.
Dang. I thought this was about a hooker.
for later
I have always said he roided.
Sure does. Very damaging revelation if true.
Jack Burton: What’s in the flask, Egg? Magic potion?
Egg Shen: Yeah.
Jack Burton: Thought so, good. What do we do, drink it?
Egg Shen: Yeah!
Jack Burton: Good! Thought so.
Egg Shen: Can see things no one else can see. Do things no one else can do.
Jack Burton: Real things?
Egg Shen: As real as Lo Pan!
Is he married??? Was he home at the time???
I didn't see the round..I caught the hi-lites this morning..and I think he up and quit..he was playing lousy..and realistically, he had no chance of being picked for the Ryder Cup..which, to an ego like his, would be devastating..so..he fakes the back spasm..and now he has a reason why he couldn't play in the Ryder. If you saw him limping in the parking lot..well, I've seen better acting jobs in a 5th grade production of "The Fantasticks" ( Die, Mortimer, Die)
He faked it..he up and quit...
mY take..for what it's worth..
Him roided!
Sorry I couldn't help myself.
I can’t imagine what male would want to ‘roid up knowing what it does to your noogies.
Lance Armstrong. Now comes in black.
“I have always said he roided.”
what does that mean?
It means he took illegal steroids to bulk up.
I wondered the same thing. I don’t think he quit the round because he would not make the Ryder Cup. He faked an injury to give himself cover for this developing story. Maybe he will now say his injury has ended his career(at least for now). Pure speculation on my part.
I think he was hurting. That hop into the sandtrap early would be tough on a back still on the mend. I think his eyes were on the PGA Championship next week.
Who knows, though.
No wonder all the injuries......PLAYING GOLF???!!!
Now comes in black. Best comment in a long time...
The dirty little secret that ESPN won’t touch!
Sounds like something he would do.
