Think Things Are Getting Better For Ol' Bitch Tits? Think Again.

I'm totally gonna do this mirror.

After years of being the highest paid untrue Yankee, Alex Rodriguez should be over the hump. In last year's post season which culminated in a World Series win over Philadelphia, Rodriguez hit .365/.500/.808. That's a 1.308 OPS, people, about .200 points better than World Series MVP and current ex-Yankee Hideki Matsui's 1.136. In addition to that, A-Rod stood up in front of the world and admitted his transgressions with steroids. He manned up, then in the post season he stood up. Now he's a World Series hero and a true Yankee.

Yeah, not so fast, Bitch Tits. The New York Times is reporting that Alex Rodriguez is among a number of prominent athletes, including Tiger Woods, who is under investigation for their association with Canadian doctor Anthony Galea. According to the Times:

Galea, who is based in Toronto, has been charged by the Canadian authorities with conspiring to smuggle human growth hormone and other drugs into the United States. He has not been charged in the United States. He has denied that he provided professional athletes with performance-enhancing drugs but said that he had used human growth hormone for the last 10 years and prescribed it to some patients.

[...]

People who have been briefed on the investigation also have information that Alex Rodriguez was treated by Galea at some point and that Rodriguez is of interest to investigators. They said they did not know when, or how often, Galea met with Rodriguez.

One athlete who was treated by Galea in Canada was told by the doctor that he had traveled to New York to treat Rodriguez, according to a person who talked to the athlete afterward. Neither that person nor the individuals who have been briefed on the investigation wanted to be identified because the investigation is continuing.

As part of Rodriguez’s rehabilitation from hip surgery last March, he was treated by Dr. Mark Lindsay, a chiropractor from White Lake, Ontario, who has worked with Galea.

And this gets even more interesting as the Yankees themselves released a statement saying, "The Yankees never authorized Dr. Tony Galea to treat Alex Rodriguez, nor do we have knowledge of any such treatment."

So, to sum up, the World Series Hero and newly crowned True Yankee A-Rod may, May!, have been involved with a doctor who is known to prescribe HGH to professional athletes. This doctor may, MAY!, have traveled to New York to work with Rodriguez. Also, the Yankees, the team that will employ him for the next eight years at a cost of $216 million, have no knowledge of any of this.

Me thinks A-Rod has a terminal case of optirectitis.
