Tiger Woods last night revealed he is part of a police probe into drug abuse in American sport.
After admitting to a string of affairs, the world No.1 is now under investigation for his relationship with a doctor who has been arrested for smuggling human growth hormone. Dr Tony Galea flew to Woods' home in Florida last year to perform a controversial injection therapy called "blood spinning" to speed his recovery from knee surgery.Since Canadian Galea's arrest last October, the FBI have questioned his clients including baseball and gridiron players. And now Woods is a potential witness."They (federal investigators ) actually contacted Steiny (Mark Steinburg, Woods' agent) and they can havefull co-operation, whenever they need me," said the 34-year-old in his first press conference since the scandal over his personal life.Woods used Galea, who is unregistered in the United States, to help recovery after tearing his Achilles following his fourth knee operation."He did come to my home," Woods added. "The injections help you heal faster and I did everything I possibly could so I could get back on the golf course. He never gave me HGH or any PEDs (performance-enhancing drugs). I've never taken that my entire life."Woods has not played in a tournament since November.But he said ahead of his 16th Masters: "Nothing has changed. I am going out there to try and win this thing."Woods added
