Miami sports clinic reveals names of PED users.

[Mr Coffee]

I posted this in the A-Rod thread, but it probably should have it's own as they name more than just him.

http://www.miaminewtimes.com/2013-01...biggest-names/

[...]check out the main column, where their real names flash like an all-star roster of professional athletes with Miami ties: San Francisco Giants outfielder Melky Cabrera, Oakland A's hurler Bartolo Colón, pro tennis player Wayne Odesnik, budding Cuban superstar boxer Yuriorkis Gamboa, and Texas Rangers slugger Nelson Cruz. There's even the New York Yankees' $275 million man himself, Alex Rodriguez, who has sworn he stopped juicing a decade ago.

Read further and you'll find more than a dozen other baseball pros, from former University of Miami ace Cesar Carrillo to Padres catcher Yasmani Grandal to Washington Nationals star Gio Gonzalez. Notable coaches are there too, including UM baseball conditioning guru Jimmy Goins.

Oh no - not Gio Gonzalez......

I'v always disliked the U of Miami, but for some reason I could never quite say why. Just something about the entire football program bothered me.....as do all the Florida college football programs. I'm not saying they're alone in this, but they seemed to be "in on it" for a long time. My apologies in advance to any here who attend or have attended these schools.

I wonder if MLB can do anything without failed test results?

[Hitman23]

Oh no - not Gio Gonzalez......

This screws my keeper lot this year. Eff.

I hope this is true and that the Bosch guy is making it all up...

[snapple]

Wouldn't the best thing to do right now is be silent?

[Hitman23]

I hope so as well.

On Gio, it is possible. Apprently he's the weakest link of the 6 mentioned. His father claimes that he, not Gio went to the clinic supposedly for weight loss. No idea if that's true or not but that's the supposed claim by Gio's father.

The other 5, if I was a betting man, I would not be betting on innocent.

I think I read earlier today that the money Gio paid was a lot less than some of the other guys. Not sure what's true and what's not -- I guess we'll find out in time

[GordonGecko]

Well I guess Gio is only going to be allowed into Cooperstown as a tourist now

[RhodyYanksFan]

I have a feeling the media will only focus on ARod even though there's over a dozen names in this report.

Max Gonzalez said the drugs were for him. "My son works very, very hard, and he's as clean as apple pie," Max Gonzalez said. "I went to (Anthony Bosch) because I needed to lose weight. A friend recommended him, and he did great work for me. But that's it. He never met my son. Never. And if I knew he was doing these things with steroids, do you think I'd be dumb enough to go there?"

So why is Gio's name on the list then? (I think I missed something)

I don't think you missed something - I was wondering the same thing. It'd be different if both were named Gio Gonalez (Sr. and Jr.).

I am hoping that this is one more instance of the media trying to be the first with "breaking news" only to find out later they were wrong.

[RhodyYanksFan]

How many guys named Alex Rodriguez live in the Miami area? If ARod can produce documents proving he was elsewhere on the dates in the ledger, then it would look pretty good for him.

No doubt ... just like the documents showing he was at the clinic on those dates are making him look pretty bad.

"I was at home alone sleeping"

I got that one from Matlock

Except Gio's father's name is Max... I think

Do those dates mean he was actually @ the clinic those days?

It's be incredibly stupid of him to show up @ the clinic

Yeah - really.
Why not send someone to pick up the goods for you?
Of course, if in fact he was purchasing product.

Of course, his cousin who was implicated in his earlier confession about PEDs was also cited in the documents...
