MLB Lining Up Evidence Against A-Rod
MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Major League Baseball reeled in a pretty good sized catch Monday with the suspension of Ryan Braun for performance enhancing drug use.
It also put the bigger fish, Alex Rodriguez on the hook as baseball considers what to do about his PED use.
According to ESPN's Outside the Lines, sources have told the show that the evidence Anthony Bosch gave MLB about A-Rod is "far beyond" what baseball had on Braun. Bosch ran the Biogenesis clinic in Coral Gables that reportedly provided PEDs to several baseball players.
MLB confronted Braun with a lot of evidence documenting his PED usage and Braun's admission and acceptance of his suspension gives the claims made by Bosch much more credibility.
According to ESPN, Braun had an "ongoing pattern of significant PED use." CBSSports.com also reported that MLB had receipts and many other documents to back up their allegations against Braun. ESPN also reported A-Rod may have interfered with the investigation.
A-Rod hasn't played in a game this year while rehabbing from hip surgery and he also suffered another injury last week while playing in minor league rehabilitation games.
If MLB comes down hard on A-Rod, which it will, the question is will Rodriguez ever play in the majors again?
