UPDATE: Anthony Bosch's lawyer has responded, via the Associated Press: <\/p>\n
\"Mr. Bosch vehemently denies the assertions that MLB players such as Alex Rodriguez and Gio Gonzalez were treated by or associated with him,\" she said. <\/p>\n
Alex Rodriguez, Gio Gonzalez, Nelson Cruz and Melky Cabrera are among the baseball stars treated at a South Florida clinic where, according to a report in Tuesday's Miami New Times, they received performance-enhancing drugs. <\/p>\n

Records taken from Biogenesis, an anti-aging clinic near the University of Miami, reportedly show those players and many other athletes -- all of whom have connections to South Florida -- received various substances from Anthony Bosch, the head of the clinic, who is already under investigation by MLB and DEA. <\/p>\n
Bosch, 49, was previously linked to the banned PEDs implicated in Manny Ramirez's 2009 suspension. Bosch disappeared suddenly last month and the clinic was closed, according to Tim Elfrink, the Miami New Times reporter who spent three months on the story. <\/p>\n
Elfrink notes in the New Times report he was given patient records by a former clinic employee, and followed up with extensive interviews with other former employees and clinic customers. <\/p>\n
Here's a snippet of Elfrink's findings regarding the Yankees' superstar third baseman: <\/p>\n
There, at number seven on the list, is Alex Rodriguez. He paid $3,500, Bosch notes. Below that, he writes, \"1.5\/1.5 HGH (sports perf.) creams test., glut., MIC, supplement, sports perf. Diet.\" HGH, of course, is banned in baseball, as are testosterone creams. <\/p>\n
That's not the only damning evidence against A-Rod, though. Another document from the files, a loose sheet with a header from the 19th Annual World Congress on Anti-Aging and Aesthetic Medicine, lays out a full regimen under the name Cacique: \"Test. cream... troches prior to workout... and GHRP... IGF-1... pink cream.\" <\/p>\n
