PEDs

The Miami Herald has a piece today that names names in the Performance Enhancing Drugs controversy in Miami. There are some big athletes listed, including some that have never been linked to PEDs (Performance Enhancing Drugs) before.

These players are on the list of clients of a Miami clinic that is famous for dispensing PEDs. They have been under investigation ever since Manny Ramirez was caught cheating. Here are the names from the article...
San Francisco Giants outfielder Melky Cabrera
Oakland A's hurler Bartolo Colón
pro tennis player Wayne Odesnik
budding Cuban superstar boxer Yuriorkis Gamboa
Texas Rangers slugger Nelson Cruz
New York Yankees' $275 million man Alex Rodriguez
Padres catcher Yasmani Grandal
Washington Nationals star Gio Gonzalez
Of course, the big name there is A-Rod, who claimed he stopped using PEDs ten years ago. Mmmm Hmmm.

I know that baseball gets all the pub on this PED story, but I'm waiting for the big reveal on the NFL. There is no way those unnaturally large, fast, and powerful beasts aren't using something.
