A-Hole Linked AGAIN to Banned Drugs

Records from an anti-aging clinic in Miami list the names of prominent baseball players -- including Alex Rodriguez, Melky Cabrera, Nelson Cruz and Gio Gonzalez -- and detail performance-enhancing drugs administered to them and others, according to a report Tuesday by the Miami New Times.

The names were on records Miami New Times said were given to it by an employee who worked at Biogenesis of America before it closed last month. Miami New Times reported that the records show the firm sold performance-enhancing drugs, including human growth hormone, testosterone and anabolic steroids.

Miami New Times said it conducted a three-month investigation before releasing its 5,400-word story online on Tuesday.

Rodriguez, the New York Yankees slugger who ended 2012 injured and on the bench during the playoffs, has admitted to using steroids from 2001 to '03, but he has said he has not used PEDs since. The New Times report said that Rodriguez's name shows up 16 times in the records it reviewed. One record, which the newspaper reported was part of Bosch's private notebooks, indicated Rodriguez paid Bosch $3,500 for "1.5/1.5 HGH (sports perf.), creams test., glut., MIC, supplement, sports perf. Diet." HGH is banned by MLB.

Let me just say, that under Gio's name is listed stuff that is NOT on the banned list of supplements, and there is no evidence that he has roided or is taking them. (no positive tests) So for him, I give him the benefit of the doubt.
As for A-Rod, I've believed for awhile that his hip could be a steroid side effect.

If it's true I want him off the team. Not acceptable. I hope he is telling the truth.

Doesn't make it any better, but at least at some point he admitted it.
Unlike Lance Armstrong, who kept denying it and denying it until a few weeks ago.
