The Mets were going into 2010 dealing only with the collapse of 2009. Now at least the papers can spend some time on Jose Reyes using a doctor that is accused of giving HGH to athletes.
Reyes used Dr.Tony Galea "blood spinning technique" to help him recover from his torn right tendon.
Well according to the Daily News "Federal agents have interviewed Mets shortstop Jose Reyes about his association with a Canadian doctor who is under investigation for drug violations, including conspiring to smuggle human growth hormone into the United States from Canada, a source close to the investigation told the Daily News Saturday night."
"After Dr. Tony Galea's December arrest following a September border stop near Buffalo of his assistant in which syringes, vials and various drugs were seized from a vehicle she was driving, Reyes is one of several elite athletes, including Tiger Woods, who received treatment from Galea, who faces charges in Canada of conspiring to smuggle HGH and the drug Actovegin into the U.S., conspiracy to smuggle prohibited goods into Canada, unlawfully selling Actovegin and smuggling goods into Canada in violation of the Customs Act."
The Mets were at aware of the situation before th story broke this weekend. So expect this to be fodder for camp for a couple of days.
