((HT: CBS News/"60 Minutes"))
One day after the arbitor, Fredric Horowitz, upheld the 211-game suspension (although, technically it was trimmed to 162 games plus any 2014 postseason) Major League Baseball handed down against Alex Rodriguez, the center of the allegations held by MLB through Biogenesis owner Anthony Bosch made his peace on CBS...
Here's the piece from Scott Pelley
The A-Rod camp is trying at every opportunity to discredit Bosch and make it clear that his getting into bed with MLB is only an ass-saving move and has no merit in any charge against Rodriguez.
Rodriguez has vehemently denied using any kind of performance-enhancing drug as far back as 2007- although the evidence presented (circumstantial or otherwise) is damning...
Over and over again...
But, as is said... the more you tell a lie, the more you believe a lie you tell...
And that is the case here... see the Palmeiro, Sosa, Pettitte, Clemens, and McGwire cases as evidence...
If what Bosch told Pelley is anywhere close, A-Rod is even more done than before...

DEVELOPING: A-Rod Gone And Done It Now...Allegedly...
((HT: 60 Minutes))
According to CBS Sports, their newsy friends over at "60 Minutes" have learned that Rodriguez's inner circle obtained and, subsequently, leaked Biogenesis documents implicating both Ryan Braun and Francisco Cervelli and their alleged use of PED's.
The prevailing thought being: Well, if I'm going down, I'm taking y'all with me...
And nothing like calling out one of your own teammates in the deal...
From CBS News:
The handwritten documents of Anthony Bosch, the key witness in Major League Baseball's PED investigation, revealed comprehensive doping regimens that Bosch had engineered for a host of professional athletes. His cooperation with MLB has resulted in the suspension of Rodriguez and 13 other major league players.
Braun and Cervelli's names were redacted in the Miami New Times documents. Members of Rodriguez's camp at the time obtained unredacted versions and leaked them to Yahoo! Sports, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the matter. The unredacted documents also implicated Baltimore Oriole Danny Valencia, who MLB later investigated and cleared.
In a statement to "60 Minutes," Rodriguez lawyer David Cornwell said, "The allegations are untrue and are another attempt to harm Alex -- this time by driving a wedge between Alex and other players in the game. While Alex focuses on baseball and repeatedly states that he is going to respect the appeal process, the drumbeat of false allegations continues."
To go back a step, the Miami New Times published their knowledge of Bosch's documents back in January, but names were redacted.
Then, CBS reports, that A-Rod's camp sprung into action...
Rodriguez is currently appealing a 211-game suspension that would carry his inactivity through next season. If Major League Baseball can prove that Rodriguez (or his representatives) pulled this stunt, he's in even more serious trouble than before when it comes to proving his innocence in the Biogenesis scandal.
