MMA Fighters Involved in Biogenesis PED Scandal

Uh Oh

According to a new report from ESPN, former Biogenesis employee Porter Fischer now says that the athletes involved with the company included MMA fighters as well as professional boxers.

Fischer was the whistleblower that originally provided documents to a Miami newspaper naming several high profile players, including former MLB MVPs Ryan Braun and Alex Rodriguez, as clients.

Fischer has yet to name names and in the same report was quoted as turning down a sum of $125,000 to cooperate with Major League Baseball, would only speak in broad terms as far as the sports involved with the company.

Fischer worked directly with Biogenesis founder Tony Bosch, who has been working in coordination with Major League Baseball on the investigation. Fischer says that Biogenesis worked with athletes in numerous sports beyond just baseball, with some relationships going back as far as 2009. (via ESPN)

Fischer said he and associates have identified athletes from the NBA, NCAA, professional boxing, tennis and MMA, in addition to other professional baseball players who have not yet been identified. As far as he knows, he said, Bosch had no clients from the NFL or NHL.

Yep, unfortunately not surprising.

It is prevalent in professional sports as a whole today.

agree, just think its kind of interesting that until today this was pretty much viewed as a baseball problem
