Blood Sport: A-Rod and the Quest to End Baseball's Steroid Era

Blood Sport: A-Rod and the Quest to End Baseball's Steroid Era

â€œBlood Sport is riveting . . . a tragicomedy filled with characters straight out of a Carl Hiaasen novel.â€ â€”The Washington Post

The effects of the Biogenesis caseâ€”the biggest drug scandal in the history of American sportsâ€”are still being felt today. Fifteen Major League Baseball players were suspended, including Yankees superstar Alex Rodriguez, who returns to the field in 2015, after his record season-long steroids ban. Ten men were indicted in federal court. And a new MLB commissioner was elected based on his role leading the response to the case. Now, Tim Elfrinkâ€”who broke that first story in the Miami New Timesâ€”joins forces with Pulitzer Prize finalist investigative reporter Gus Garcia-Roberts to tell the shocking full story behind the headlines. Blood Sport blows the lid off the most expensive scandal in the history of the game, and now includes a brand new epilogue revealing the stunning aftermath of the scandal and its effects for years to come.
