Washington Redskins’ receiver Santana Moss was among the professional athletes who received human growth hormone from Canadian doctor Anthony Galea, according to a source familiar with the investigation. On Tuesday, Galea was charged with smuggling and distributing HGH.
Moss would not discuss the matter at Redskins Park on Wednesday.
“I’ll talk about football. I don’t know about nothing else,” Moss said. “I ain’t got nothing to do with nothing that ain’t about me.”
Moss’s name was first reported today by the Buffalo News. The newspaper, which cited unidentified sources close to the case in its report, said that at this point federal prosecutors do not intend to file criminal charges against Moss or any other athlete with connections to the doctor.
Redskins senior vice president Tony Wyllie said, “This is an off-the-field matter. I’m going to refer all questions to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus.”
Rosenhaus did not immediately return messages seeking comment.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello issued a statement Tuesday saying the NFL did not know the identities of any of the players listed in the criminal complaint filed Tuesday by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
