The Miami New Times has acquired evidence from a clinic in Miami implicating several major league baseball players in the purchase of performance-enhacing drugs, including New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez. A three-month investigation by the newspaper into the now-closed Biogenesis clinic revealed that it had dispensed human growth hormone, testosterone and anabolic steroids to many popular athletes including Melky Cabrera, Nelson Cruz and Gio Gonzalez. Rodriguez, who had admitted to taking steroids in the past, is denying any connections with clinic owner, Anthony Bosch, and has hired a lawyer to fight the allegations.
