Santana Moss HGH

A day after reports that Dr. Anthony Galea was charged with several crimes including smuggling human growth hormone by federal prosecutors, it is now reported who the NFL player was that Dr. Galea's assistant was traveling to see in September.

Santana Moss Injury

While crossing the Peace Brigde into Buffalo, Mary Anne Catalano was arrested in September. At the time of her arrest, she stated that she was on her way to a treat a player in Washington DC. The Buffalo News reported today that the player that was to be treated with HGH was Washington Redskin wide receiver Santana Moss.

Santana Moss Charges or Suspension

According to the newspaper, U.S. Attorney in Buffalo, William J. Hochul Jr, said it is unlikely that any atheletes that were treated by the doctor would face charges.

Hochul said, "At this juncture, any of the persons who are alleged to have used these substances are considered witnesses, and not targets."

But the NFL might not be so forgiving. The Rodney Harrison case set precedent on this matter in 2007. Harrison was suspended for four games after it was found that he admitted to law enforcement official that he used HGH. In that case, NFL security officials were provided access to information by law enforcement. Greg Aiello cited this case when answering question about the current investigation and revelations of possible use by Sanatan Moss.

NFL HGH Testing

The other day Canadian doctor, Anthony Galea, was charged with smuggling human growth hormone (HGH), making false statements for federal officials, conspiracy and unlawfully distributing HGH within the U.S. His clients include Alex Rodriguez, Tiger Woods and unnamed NFL players.

NFL HGH Patients

The lawsuit by the federal government states that Dr. Galea gave three NFL players HGH. Sources close to the case state that he helped treat players with injuries and not to give them a competitive edge. The NFL released a statement saying, "This is an ongoing federal investigation and we have not been informed of the identity of these players." The statement continues to say, "When we have had evidence of illegal purchase, possession, or use of HGH, we have imposed discipline and are fully prepared to do so again if the facts support it."

HGH Testing

There is a test for HGH and the NFL would like to administer it along with the other drug screening; however, the player's union will not accept the terms of the test because it is a blood test. The union's stance is that because the test requires drawing blood that it is too invasive.
