Biogenesis baseball scandal

The Biogenesis baseball scandal broke in 2013 when several Major League Baseball (MLB) players were accused of obtaining performance-enhancing drugs ("PEDs"), specifically human growth hormone, from the now-defunct rejuvenation clinic Biogenesis of America. After an ex-employee annoyed over missing back-pay revealed clinic records that were "clear in describing the firm's real business: selling performance-enhancing drugs",^[2][3] MLB sued six people connected to Biogenesis, accusing them of damaging the sport by providing banned substances to its players.^[3] In July, thirteen involved players received lengthy suspensions of fifty or more games (nearly a third of a season).
