Biogenesis baseball scandalFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Biogenesis baseball scandalbroke in 2013 when several Major League Baseball (MLB) players were

accused of obtaining performance-enhancing drugs ("PEDs"), specifically human growth hormone, from the

now-defunct rejuvenation clinic Biogenesis of America.[1]After an ex-employee annoyed over missing

back-pay revealed clinic records that were "clear in describing the firm's real business: selling performance-

enhancing drugs",[2][3]MLB suedsix people connected toBiogenesis, accusing them of damaging the sport

by providing banned substances to its players.[3]In July, thirteeninvolved players received lengthy

suspensions of fifty or more games (nearly a third of a season).

Clinic historyBiogenesis of America was a health clinic briefly operating in Coral Gables, Florida, specializing in weight

loss and hormone replacement therapy.[4]It was first registered in state corporation records in March

2012,[5]and was founded by Anthony Bosch (also listed as the program director).[5][6]His father, Dr. Pedro

Bosch, was listed as the medical director, and Bosch's younger brother, attorney Ashley Bosch, was listed as

managing member.[5]Porter Fischer was listedas marketing director.[7]Several employees quit in the fall of

2012 after they were not paid,[5]and the clinic closed months later in December 2012.[3]

Accusations and investigation

On January 22, 2013, theMiami New Timesobtaineddocuments from former Biogenesis employee Porter

Fisher which it said linked three players Melky Cabrera, Bartolo Coln and Yasmani Grandal who had

tested positive for performance enhancing drugs in 2012 to the clinic. Additionally, the paper said several

star players including Alex Rodriguez, Ryan Braun, and Nelson Cruz could be tied to the clinic. The paper,

however, refused to hand the documents over to Major League Baseball (MLB) authorities.[8]

The Florida Department of Health, and MLB, both targeted the clinic's owner, Anthony Bosch, each

separately taking action against him.

In March, MLB sued Bosch, and his business partners, Carlos Acevedo, Ricardo Martinez, Marcelo Albir,

and Paulo da Silveira in an attempt to obtain information. The suit alleged that the six had "actively

participated in a scheme ... to solicit or induce Major League players to purchase or obtain PES (performing-

enhancing substances)".[8]Subsequently, the MLB claimed to have found evidence that a representative of

Rodriguez had purchased his medical records. It then paid a former Biogenesis employee for documents.[8]

In April, Bosch received a complaint from the Florida Department of Health for practicing medicine without

a license. The complaint urged him to sign a cease and desist agreement.

In May, Bosch agreed to work with MLB investigators in exchange for his name being removed from the

lawsuit.[8]MLB conducted a large number of interviews with players it believed may be connected with

Biogenesis in June. Every player interviewed was supplied legal counsel by the Major League Baseball

Players Association.[8]

Player suspensions

On July 22, 2013, MLB suspended Milwaukee Brewers player Ryan Braun for the remainder of the 2013

season (65 games and the postseason) for his involvement with the Biogenesis clinic. Braun, who lost $3.25

million as a result, did not appeal the suspension. ESPN reported that Braun decided to "strike a deal" with

MLB after being presented with the evidence against him.[9]Braun had previously tested positive for

testosterone in December 2011, but maintained his innocence and ultimately avoided suspension for that

violation on a technicality that his test sample had been improperly handled.[10]

On August 5, 2013, Alex Rodriguez was suspended through the 2014 season (211 games at the time of the

decision), but was allowed to play in 2013 pending his appeal of that decision. An arbitrator later upheld the

suspension in January 2014, after being allowed to play in the 49 games between the decision and the

hearing, technically reducing the suspension to 162 games, representing the entire 2014 regular season andpostseason. Twelve other players connected to the Biogenesis case agreed to 50-game suspensions without

the right to appeal: Antonio Bastardo, Everth Cabrera, Francisco Cervelli, Nelson Cruz, Fautino de los

Santos, Sergio Escalona, Fernando Martnez, Jess Montero, Jordan Norberto, Jhonny Peralta, Csar Puello,

and Jordany Valdespin. Cabrera, Cruz, and Peralta were All-Stars in 2013.[11]Rodriguez, who received the

longest suspension of all the players linked to Biogenesis, was punished for "his use and possession of

numerous forms of prohibited performance-enhancing substances, including testosterone and human growth

hormone, over the course of multiple years" and "for his attempts to cover up those violations and obstruct a

league investigation", according to MLB.[8]The 13 player suspensions are the most to be imposed

simultaneously in the history of organized baseball, the previous record being Kenesaw Mountain Landis'

banning of eight players for life for throwing the 1919 World Series.[8]

Melky Cabrera, Bartolo Coln, and Yasmani Grandal, who all served 50-game suspensions in 2012, did not

receive any additional discipline.[8]Two players mentioned in Biogenesis documents, Gio Gonzalez and

Danny Valencia, were cleared of any wrongdoing.[11]

Appeals

All of the suspended players, with the exception of Rodriguez, reached agreement with the League on the

length of that suspension, and as part of that agreement waived their contractual right to appeal it to an

arbitrator.[11]Rodriguez was the only player who appealed his suspension. His appeal was heard by

arbitrator Fredric Horowitz, who succeeded Shyam Das as baseball's designated arbitrator in 2012.[12][13]

Das was removed from his position as baseball's long-time arbitrator as a direct result of his overturning

Braun's original 50-game suspension for PEDs.[12][13]Horowitz ruled the original suspension from time of

ruling until the end of the 2014 season would stand (though technically reduced from 211 to 162 games

since he was allowed to play the 49 games between the ruling and the appeal), leaving Rodriguez's career in

limbo.[12]

Rodriguez was allowed to play while his appeal was heard.[11]The Players Association said it agreed with

his decision to appeal, adding "We believe that the Commissioner has not acted appropriately under the

Basic Agreement."[11]

Reactions

MLB commissioner Bud Selig remarked "We conducted a thorough, aggressive investigation guided by

facts so that we could justly enforce our rules ... we pursued this matter because it was not only the right

thing to do, but the only thing to do."[8]

The other players involved all agreed to deals that included a waiver of the right to appeal.[11]Cruz blamed a

gastrointestinal infection for his drug use and remarked that faced with the weight loss from the infection he

was unsure he would be physically able to play and "made an error in judgment that I deeply regret, and I

accept full responsibility for that error."[8]An emotional Cabrera said he had taken a banned substance for

four days in 2012 to aid in injury recovering before stopping because "I realized it wasn't necessary. My

heart and my conscience was killing me."[11]Peralta remarked "I take full responsibility for my actions,have no excuses for my lapse in judgment and I accept my suspension."[11]
