Commissioner Roger Goodell says NFL staff contacted Santana Moss about the Redskins receiver's connection to a Canadian doctor charged with smuggling and supplying human growth hormone.

Moss has told teammates he received treatments - not involving banned substances - from Dr. Anthony Galea.

A U.S. criminal complaint filed in May charged Galea with conspiracy, smuggling, unlawful distribution of HGH and introducing the unapproved drug Actovegin into interstate commerce.

On a visit to Redskins training camp Wednesday, Goodell says the NFL is ''cooperating with and following very closely'' the investigation.

Asked about a possible suspension for Moss, Goodell says: ''I like to know the facts first.''

Goodell says he did not talk to Moss on Wednesday.
