Over the weekend news broke that MLB and the Drug Enforcement Administration were investigating a clinic in Miami run by Anthony Bosch, a noted friend, adviser and consultant to many baseball players. Bosch’s clinic has long been associated with so-called anti-aging therapies and he has long been associated with PEDs. MLB reached out to the DEA because it does not have subpoena power and is interested in getting to the bottom of Bosch’s association with ballplayers.
Now a blockbuster report from the Miami New Times, which has been given patient records by an anonymous source, suggests that A-Rod and other ballplayers were, in fact, given HGH by Bosch. In A-Rod’s case as late as last year, long after he claimed that he had ceased using PEDs.
The New Times details multiple other records of banned substances, under either Rodriguez’s name or under his cousin Yuri Sucart. These include HGH, IGF-1, which stimulates muscle growth and is also banned and something called “troches,” which is a lozenge which releases testosterone.
Also mentioned in the records are Melky Cabrera, Yasmani Grandal and Bartolo Colon, all of whom have tested positive for PEDs in the past year. One additional mention — a player never before linked with PEDs — is Nelson Cruz. Gio Gonzalez is mentioned as well, but the records seem less definitive and may be connected to his father, who is quoted in the story.
But the oddest part of this is Arod on illegal drugs in 2012. How bad would he have been without the drugs?
