Rodriguez to meet with investigators

Rodriguez, speaking to reporters Monday at the Yankees' spring training complex in Tampa, Fla., said he has been contacted by federal authorities investigating Canadian doctor Anthony Galea, The New York Times reported.

Galea has been charged by Canadian officials with conspiring to smuggle human growth hormone and other drugs into the United States, but has not been charged in the United States. Galea -- who denies prescribing performance-enhancing drugs to athletes -- has treated golfer Tiger Woods and swimmer Dara Torres.

When asked if he had ever been treated by Galea, Rodriguez responded: "I can't really get into that. You'll know within time all at the same time," the Times reported.

Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman wouldn't comment. The newspaper said team officials are upset that Rodriguez, who has admitted taking steroids from 2001 to 2003, was again linked to a doping investigation.
