Canadian Dr. Anthony Galea, a sports medicine specialist who has treated hundreds of athletes, is being investigated for smuggling, advertising and selling unapproved drugs as well as criminal conspiracy.
Galea and his lawyer say his treatments do not break any laws or violate antidoping rules in sport.
“We’re confident that an investigation of Galea will lead to his total vindication,” Brian H. Greenspan, Galea’s criminal-defense lawyer, said. “Dr. Galea was never engaged in any wrongdoing or any impropriety. Not only does he have a reputation that is impeccable, he is a person at the very top of his profession.”
At the very top of his profession? Wow, I guess he can’t be guilty then. But wait, wasn’t Barry Bonds at the very top of his profession when he apparently lied and cheated? Wasn’t Roger Clemens at the top of his? Wasn’t Marion Jones at the top of hers?
As a defense, “at the very top of his profession” leaves a lot to be desired.
