Report: Unnamed NBA players linked to Biogenesis clinic scandal

The performance enhancing drug scandal tied to the Florida Biogenesis clinic that has embroiled baseball and led to the suspension of MVP Ryan Braun could touch the NBA.

Porter Fischer, the whistleblower who came forward to give the Miami New Times boxes of information that blew up Biogenesis into a scandal, told ESPN’s investigative show Outside The Lines that there are NBA players who used the clinic.

Fischer said he and associates have identified athletes from the NBA, NCAA, professional boxing, tennis and MMA, in addition to other professional baseball players who have not yet been identified. As far as he knows, Fischer said, Bosch had no clients from the NFL or NHL….

He said the only sports entity he has heard from was Major League Baseball.

No names of those other athletes have been released.

The guys who were using this facility were either born or raised in Miami. LeBron was not. Oh and if it was LeBron, don't you think this would have been a bigger story by now. He would have released his name right away.

I tend to think the baseball players all have some sort of A-Rod connection...first it was that doctor in Montreal, now this...A-Rod knows where to find these sorts of clinics.
