 More Yankees NewsYankees LinksFederal agents have reached out to several people who have worked for Alex Rodriguez in an effort to learn more about his relationship with Anthony Galea, the Canadian-based doctor under investigation by various federal authorities. According to two people briefed on the investigation, which is seeking to determine if Galea distributed performance-enhancing drugs, agents want to question people associated with the Yankees? Rodriguez ? particularly the assistants who have handled his scheduling and finances ? to determine the number of times he met with Galea, where they met and how much money Galea was paid for his services. The effort to talk to people connected to Rodriguez comes as he and his lawyers have put off several meetings with federal agents, who have yet to question him about Galea. In last week?s meeting with baseball?s investigators, Rodriguez stated that he had been treated several times by Galea after he had surgery on his hip last March, according to several people in baseball with direct knowledge of that meeting. Rodriguez said that he had been treated by Galea in Tampa and New York after the surgery, which was performed in Vail, Colo. Rodriguez told investigators that he did not receive performance-enhancing drugs from Galea, the people said. Galea has acknowledged treating Rodriguez, stating in a recent interview with The Associated Press that he gave him anti-inflammatories for his hip last year. |
