According to ESPN, Major League Baseball will be looking to suspend close to 20 players linked to a Miami-based clinic. After months of back and forth, Tony Bosch, the main guy of Biogenesis of America, has agreed to speak with MLB investigators which might give baseball the proof to suspend guilty players.
Two sources are familiar with this information from ESPN's "Outside the Line." They are saying that commissioner Bud Selig might go as far as suspending players for 100 games. Among these guys are former superstar Alex Rodriguez and recently accused Ryan Braun. Bosch might be meeting with officials as soon as next week where he is expected to provide the information.
Other guys who have been linked to Biogenesis are guys like Bartolo Colon, Melky Cabrera, Gio Gonzalez, along with A-Rod and Braun.
A-Rod is currently recuperating from hip surgery as the broken down star has yet to lace up his cleats in 2013. As for Braun, he vigorously defended himself last year after having urine samples return positive for PEDs. After MLB botched its own testing procedure, Braun was able to avoid suspension and his name was cleared. MLB took the hit, making it's drug program seem flawed, completely dismantling any credit the league had for the most rigorous PED program in sports.
However, if Bosch gives MLB names, this could be one of the biggest PED breakdowns in the history of the game and would bring back some of the credibility lost. It is no mystery that PEDs have been a part of the game for a long time, however, it is time to clean the game to the best of the league's ability and Bosch could be the key figure in the middle of the investigation.
