Lash Extensions 101: Faux And Fabulous
Happy Birthday, Mr. T!
As I mentioned in an article earlier this week, the scandal involving Tiger Woods is far from over. A major shoe dropped today when Tony Galea, a doctor used by Tiger Woods on multiple occasions, was arrested for importing and using banned drugs. Galea himself has admitted to using HGH (Human Growth Hormone) and was linked to Woods when his knee would not heal as fast as he and "Team Tiger" thought it should.
Mark Steinberg, of the International Management Group, which represents Woods, even begged the New York Times not to release the story:
"I would really ask that you guys don't write this?" Steinberg stated to the paper in an e-mail, "If Tiger is NOT implicated, and won't be, let's please give the kid a break."
Galea was arrested in a Toronto airport on October 15, after HGH and Actovegin were found in his medical bag. The doctor reportedly worked with Woods in February and March at his home, when his knee was keeping him off the golf course. The procedure involved extracting blood from Woods, spinning it and reinserting it after the platelets had increased.
"He said he couldn't believe how good he feels," Galea said. "He'd joke and say, 'I can jump up on the kitchen table,' and I said, Please don't. "
Galea was reported to have sent NFL wide receiver Javon Walker to Jerusalem to get a cartilage replacement surgery that is illegal in the United States. Not exactly the kind of doctor that Tiger Woods should be spending his time with.
America already thinks that Tiger cheats on his wife. If it's found that he also cheats on his original love, golf, then his legacy is as good as dead.

until there is proof that Tiger also took such drugs, this is NOT an implication or indictment of Tiger

It seems odd that all this comes out all at once. The personal matters and then the doctor which are seemingly unrelated.

Wow! The gods of this world is something else.
This is to you Tiger: God loves you and all of us do too. This is the best time of your life. Hold on to God's never changing hand, and you will reach your destination. Believe it or not this is the best time of your life. When you are finished with this chapter in your life you will be a better and stronger person. Stay strong. Do not get bitter, defeat the haters: get BETTER. I pray you thrive in Love, Life, Truth, Peace, Knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding. Call your sisters: Mercy and Grace. They are waiting. Before your Brother Justice destroys, He always call Mercy, then Grace, and His Grace is sufficient. I have always prayed for you and other young men and women who do not have a clue as to the tactics of the advesary. the advesary is always "looking for something beautiful to destroy." You are a beautiful soul Tiger. Make your mom and dad and your family proud to have known you. There is no sorrow that Heaven can not cure. Tiger you are a child of the Universe. The Almighty will prepare a table for you in the presence of your enemies! Again, stay in touch with all that matters. Focus on your family, your career and most of all "kick" Nicholas' "butt". Break Nicholas' record and then some! Love you Tiger. Oh and yes, I am a very much Black Woman that is 62 years of age. I have been through the fire and I am still a diamond in the rough.
