Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez has filed a lawsuit
against MLB. Rodriguez attests MLB is paying off people for testimonies. The
lawsuit claims MLB officials have given $5 million to Anthony Bosch, the
founder of Biogenesis, an anti-aging clinic, in order to testify on MLB’s
behalf. Newsday says the lawsuit
challenges the MLB saying they participated in “tortious interference” that
ruined Rodriguez’s reputation.
Rodriguez and 12 other MLB players have ben suspended for
allegedly using performance-enhancing drugs. MLB accuses Rodriguez of being a
patient of Biogenesis. If found guilty, Rodriguez will face a 211-game
suspension. (Newsday)
Rodriguez criticizes MLB commissioner bud Selig who has said
to have leaked Rodriguez’s personal information when Selig appeared on David
Letterman’s late night show. The lawsuit brands Selig as “scandal-ridden” (Newsday).
The next day after filing the lawsuit on MLB, Rodriguez
filed another lawsuit against Christopher Ahmad, Yankees team physician and the
New York Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center. Ahmad and the medical
center allegedly misdiagnosed Rodriguez during a hip injury in 2012. The doctor
and staff were said to have not told Rodriguez about a tear in his left hip. The
hospital tells Newsday they have no
information about the lawsuit and refused to comment.
Rodriguez still has four years left of his contract with the
Yankees. He is allowed $86 million and can also be allotted another $30 million
for home run achievements. The allegations of Rodriguez made by MLB could
affect “Rodriguez’s contract and business ventures” (Newsday).
