In 2012, new MLB PED revelations alarmed the baseball world. Melky Cabrera, Bartolo Colon and Yasmani Grandal were all handed 50-game suspensions for testing positive for banned substances.
Two of those players were mentioned in a shocking exclusive report published by the Miami New Times.
Biogenesis, a small medical clinic located just a stone’s throw from the University of Miami campus, was apparently just a front—they were, in fact, selling testosterone, HGH and other steroids.
Biogenesis closed its doors a month ago, and its owner, Anthony Bosch, completely disappeared at the same time.
A former employee of Biogenesis got their hands on several documents—the documents were clear in revealing that Biogenesis sold anabolic steroids and many other performance-enhancing drugs to dozens of athletes, including several MLB players.
We will take a look at some of the players who were mentioned prominently in the Biogenesis documents.
