A-Rod still using PEDs?

Clinic records suggest Alex Rodriguez purchased HGH as recently as 2012; other players named

Jan 29, 2013, 8:25 AM EST

Over the weekend news broke that MLB and the Drug Enforcement Administration were investigating a clinic in Miami run by Anthony Bosch, a noted friend, adviser and consultant to many baseball players. Bosch’s clinic has long been associated with so-called anti-aging therapies and he has long been associated with PEDs. MLB reached out to the DEA because it does not have subpoena power and is interested in getting to the bottom of Bosch’s association with ballplayers.
Now a blockbuster report from the Miami New Times, which has been given patient records by an anonymous source, suggests that A-Rod and other ballplayers were, in fact, given HGH by Bosch. In A-Rod’s case as late as last year, long after he claimed that he had ceased using PEDs (A-Rod said at his 2009 press conference that he stopped taking PEDs in 2003 and hadn’t taken them since)

Wow, looks like baseball still has a ways to go in cleaning up their act.

As a Mariners fan, this is fantastic. Best part about Mariners games these days may be booing Arod when the Yankees come to town

The Yankees are heartbroken.

They were hoping Arod never came back from his hip surgery so their insurance would kick in and they wouldn't have to pay him. Plus he wouldn't count against the salary cap.

I'm all for freedom of the press, but these guys are publishing patient records.

What's the point of medical privacy if anyone can release the records to the press and then be protected as an 'anonymous' source?

Another big name on that list is superstar pitcher Gio Gonzalez who is in his prime now. Will be interesting to see how the Nats do damage control on this one.

These are NOT medical records. There are no MDs or prescriptions involved. Even if there were, whistle-blower laws would (or at least should) supersede HIPAA. Fuck these cheating bitches. Ban every single one of them for life and erase every trace of them from the game. Until then, they will still cheat.

I didn't see anything about the paper publishing anything from confidential patient records. Instead, I saw names being published from personal notebooks of the MD that listed PED's allegedly sold to the named persons. I'd be more inclined to think this is equates to a publishing of customers' names of a madam or prostitute.

It's all these old guys with broken hips and arthritis and stuff using, trying to heal faster.
You rarely hear of 24 year olds, cuz they're mint still.
