Tiger Woods denies using human growth

hormone at first Masters Press Conference

FROM THE AOL GOLF NEWS SERVICE
Tiger Woods insisted he has never used human growth hormone (HGH) while recovering from injury during a press conference ahead of the US Masters today.
Woods admitted he had been treated by controversial physician Dr Anthony Galea, who is under federal investigation in a drugs case.
Galea visited Woods at his home during the latter's recovery from knee surgery and Woods acknowledged he had received a treatment known as "blood spinning", saying: "He (Galea) did come to my house, he never gave me HGH. I had PRP (platelet rich plasma) treatment."
Asked if federal agents had contacted him in relation to Galea's case, Woods added: "They contacted my agent and will get full cooperation whenever they need me, but right now they haven't asked for my time."

Woods spoke about a wide range of topics in his first full press conference since revelations about his private life.
"I'd like to tell all the players after today hopefully they can be left alone to focus on the Masters and their game for this week and going forward," Woods said.
"I apologise to all of them for having to endure what they've had to endure over the last few months.
"A lot has happened in the past five months, I'm here to play and compete and really excited about doing that. I missed the competition."
Asked about the injuries he suffered in a car accident in November last year which led to the revelations, and why he did not speak to police, Woods added: "I had a busted up lip and pretty sore neck and that was it.
"I did everything to the letter of the law, my lawyer gave me advice and I followed that."
