Is Tiger Woods’ Legacy Altered by 2009 Pay Off to Alex Rodriguez’s Doctor Who Was Charged With Smuggling “Unapproved Drugs” Into the U.S.?

Alex Rodriguez and Tiger Woods are two of the greatest sports personalities in America. These two have been the flag bearers of their respective sports over the years. One has entertained baseball for over 22 years, while the other one is still going strong in golf.

They also share a good relationship. But there is more to Alex Rodriguez and Tiger Woods. Despite having a legendary run in MLB, A-Rod’s baseball career will always have a dark side. Who can forget his infamous PEDs case? Even after a while, A-Rod confessed his guilt against MLB and faced a two-year suspension.

But how all of this is related to golf legend Tiger Woods? Well, there is an indirect connection between Woods and A-Rod’s PEDs case. Per an old report, Woods paid a huge sum to A-Rod’s doctor to get his treatment done. Still, there is nothing wrong with being treated by A-Rod’s doctor. But what if Anthony Galea (Alex Rodriguez’s doctor) had involvement in illegal substances?

In the same year, golf legend Tiger Woods also came into controversy when he paid over $200,000 to Alex Rodriguez’s doctor in two installments for his injuries.

Although Woods paid the money for his treatment, that doctor had a history with smuggling of unapproved drugs. A CBS Sports report suggests the same.

“His executive assistant was detained at the Canadian border in September 2009 while trying to bring unmarked HGH into the U.S. And Galea later pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of bringing into the United States unapproved drugs,” the report said.

However, there is no report of Tiger Woods’ involvement in such cases, especially in A-Rod’s one. While talking about A-Rod, he enjoyed a successful baseball career. But his one mistake cost him the status of a legendary player.
