Canadian doctor indicted in US

BUFFALO, New York - Canadian doctor Anthony Galea was formally indicted on Thursday on charges of smuggling unapproved drugs into the United States to treat high-profile sports clients.

A federal grand jury in Buffalo returned a five-count indictment against Toronto-based Galea, who is accused of smuggling human growth hormone and other substances across the US-Canadian border, as well as conspiracy, fraud and lying to border agents.

Authorities say Galea, who is not licensed to practice medicine in the US, made frequent trips across the Peace Bridge in Buffalo to see athletes in several cities.
