"She told authorities she knew her employer wasn't licensed in the United States and that it would be illegal for him to administer inside the country."
/Mike Fish at ESPN.com looks into the allegations against Dr. Anthony Galea and the evidence gleaned from cooperating witness Mary Anne Catalano.
Catalano, who waived her rights before agreeing to speak with border agents, admitted she knew the items she was attempting to bring into the U.S. were "illegal" and that she was doing this for her employer, who is not identified in her case documents. She also told agents that her employer asked her to attempt to bring the items in because he had been flagged previous times at the border.
She told authorities she knew her employer wasn't licensed in the United States and that it would be illegal for him to administer inside the country. She added that they were to meet up after crossing the border into the U.S.
According to the criminal complaint, Catalano also revealed to agents that she'd been told by her employer that "if she was questioned about the purpose of her trip, she should say that they were coming to the United States for a conference with other medical professionals and that none of the equipment she was bringing into the United States was for treating patients."
Steve Elling reports that the Florida Department of Health is now investigating Galea for his house calls on Tiger. Galea is unlicensed in the sunshine state. He faces a possible third-degree felony if charged, Elling says.
