More alleged A-Rod records emerge in report
Quote:
Documents obtained from a defunct South Florida clinic connect Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez to at least 19 drugs and supplements, including several banned substances, according to a report published by Sports Illustrated.
SI.com reported Monday that records indicate that wellness clinician Tony Bosch prescribed an array of drugs and supplements to Rodriguez that included lozenges, creams and injections, and detailed that they were to be used morning, day and night.
Through a spokesperson, Rodriguez has stated that the documents -- parts of which were published last week by the Miami New Times -- are "not legitimate" and said that he has never been treated or advised by Bosch.
Major League Baseball is in the opening stages of what figures to be a lengthy investigation tracking the paper trail from the now-shuttered Biogenesis clinic, which the Miami New Times has also linked to big leaguers Melky Cabrera, Nelson Cruz, Bartolo Colon, Gio Gonzalez and Yasmani Grandal, among others.
The Yankees have largely declined to comment on Rodriguez's situation, yielding to MLB's investigation. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said that no one from the organization has spoken to Rodriguez concerning the allegations.
"No one wants to be in the middle of these conversations at all," Cashman said on Monday. "[Rodriguez] is a player that plays for the New York Yankees and we'd rather not be in these conversations, as I'm sure he doesn't and anybody else that might be involved with it."
The documents obtained from Bosch's clinic in Coral Gables, Fla., and published by the Miami New Times connect Rodriguez to the banned substances testosterone, human growth hormone and IGF-1, which is also referred to as deer antler spray.
SI.com noted that one of the documents shows a purported doping regimen prescribed to Rodriguez that includes as many as 19 injections: four subcutaneous injections of IGF-1, nine shots of CJC (a growth hormone-releasing hormone) and GHRP (growth hormone-releasing peptide), and six shots of HGH at 2.5 international units.
