One month after federal investigators stopped Catalano at the border, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police raided Galea's Institute of Sports Medicine and Wellness Centre in Toronto and arrested him. The Florida Department of Health also launched its own investigation because Galea had flown to the state on four occasions last winter to treat Woods, who was recovering from knee surgery. At a news conference last week, Woods denied use of performance-enhancing drugs.
Galea is not licensed to practice medicine in the U.S. Jamal Lewis told SI.com that Galea has helped keep him healthy in recent years with PRP therapy, but said Galea told him he was aware that he was not supposed to treat patients in the U.S., so Lewis, flew to Canada for treatment.
Spokesmen for the FBI and ICE declined comment on the case, citing an ongoing investigation. Voicemail and email messages left late Friday afternoon for an FDA spokeswoman in Buffalo were not immediately returned.
