On Monday,
New Times released an investigation into Biogenesis, a local anti-aging firm run by Tony Bosch. Records obtained by
New Times
suggest Bosch was selling performance enhancing drugs to a number of
professional athletes; throughout the week, we've been posting those
records as they pertain to the nine athletes and one coach mentioned in
our report.
Click through for the records linked to Texas Rangers
outfielder Nelson Cruz, tennis pro Wayne Odesnik, boxer Yuriorkis
Gamboa, San Diego catcher Yasmani Grandal, minor league pitcher Cesar
Carillo, UM strength and conditioning coach Jimmy Goins and Yuri Sucart,
Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez's cousin.

Thus far, Rodriguez, Bosch, Odesnik, Cruz and Gonzalez
have all issued statements denying New Times report into Biogenesis. For a full accounting of the records
New Times obtained and the lengths we went to in order to confirm their veracity,
read our post on Alex Rodriguez's files.
First, Cruz's records. His name appears in a client list from the firm dated June 2012, with the nickname "Mohamad":
The rest of the entries come from Bosch's personal notebook labeled "2012," starting with this:

Miami-based Cuban boxer Yuriorkis Gamboa before an upcoming bout with
Brandon Rios:
Yasmani Grandal, a former star player for the University of Miami and
for Miami Springs high school, appears in Bosch's records under his own
name, with the misspelled first name "Josmany" and by a nickname:
"Springs."
Grandal was suspended 50 games by Major League
Baseball last season after getting caught with a high testosterone
level. Here he is on a Biogenesis client list dated June 2012:
Grandal
is repeatedly mentioned in Bosch's personal notebook labeled "2012,"

Another athlete already linked with performance-enhancing drugs listed
in Bosch's records is tennis pro Wayne Odesnik. Born in South Africa but
raised mostly in the Miami area, Odesnik was banned from the tour for a
year after Australian authorities caught him in March 2010 importing
human growth hormone.
Odesnik's name appears repeatedly in Bosch's files, starting with this note from a book labeled "2009:"

Colon is yet another player recently caught violating his sport's PED
policy. Colon was suspended by MLB for 50 games last year after being
caught with synthetic testosterone in his system.
Colon appears on the Biogenesis client list dated June 2012, with the nickname "DUI":
Jimmy Goins is not a professional athlete, but he has been the

system.

Finally, Yuri Sucart regularly appears in Bosch's records. Sucart is
notable because when Alex Rodriguez admitted in a 2009 interview that he
had taken steroids from 2001-2003, Sucart -- his cousin who lives in
South Miami -- was identified as the connection who provided the PEDs.
This entry comes from the "2009" book. In many entries, like this, Sucart appears on the same list as Rodriguez:
