After the MLB suspended NL MVP Ryan Braun of the Milwaukee Bucks, the Biogenesis scandal has become so much of a hot topic that it's even reached the NBA as T.J. Quinn of ESPN.com reports that several players NBA players have been linked to the scandal as well.
Porter Fischer, the former Biogenesis of Miami clinic employee who turned boxes of documents over to the Miami New Times last year, declined to name the athletes. But in his first television interview, Fischer told "Outside the Lines" that numerous sports had at least one athlete who received performance-enhancing drugs from clinic founder Tony Bosch.
"This isn't a 2013 thing or a 2012 thing; some of these people have been on the books since 2009," Fischer said.
The athletes have not been publicly named yet, but the number of athletes involved is far more than what people realize.
Fischer said he and associates have identified athletes from the NBA, NCAA, professional boxing, tennis and MMA, in addition to other professional baseball players who have not yet been identified. As far as he knows, Fischer said, Bosch had no clients from the NFL or NHL.
"In just the four years that I know, it's got to be well over a hundred, easy," he said. "It's almost scary to think about how many people have gone through [Bosch's treatments] and how long he's gotten away with this."
Now that Fischer has claimed that some NBA players have been involved with the use of PEDs, the debate will rage on about which players used or are still using to get an edge on the basketball floor. The story is still developing but it will be interesting to see what names will be thrown out there to the public next.
