Gio Gonzalez: Cheater With Natitude

 

 

Washington Times The Miami New Times has posted images of the documents they obtained from the Biogenisis anti-aging clinic in Miami that were used as the basis of their story that linked Gio Gonzalez, among other baseball stars, to the facility and suspicions of performance-enhancing drug use.

The images show the five mentions of Gonzalez's name, sometimes written as simply "Gio" in what they believe is the personal notebooks of Biogenisis owner, Anthony Bosch. It is unclear, however, what exactly Gonzalez is being linked to in the various notations. He is most often listed in conjunction with his father, Max, who has admitted to becoming a patient of Bosch's in an effort to lose weight.

One of the entries simply listed Gonzalez's name and his occupation "(pitcher)" and another listed a collection of statistics, presumably Gonzalez's from some point, on the same page as what appears to be a long list of ingredients for "Pink cream." The items listed on the page that the Miami New Times included in their initial story on Tuesday, ZINC, MIC (believed to be Methionine Inositol Choline) and AminoRip, do not appear on Major League Baseball's list of banned substances.

Of course. Just days after all those Sabermetric freaks predicted Nationals over 110 wins the shit has hit the fan. I’ll admit I had no fucking clue who Gio Gonzalez was before the Nats traded 4 of their top prospects for him last year, but his Cy Young worthy performance was the main reason why Drew Storen was able to break our fucking hearts last October. While potentially losing Gonzalez for 50 games would by no means diagnose the Nats 2013 with ALS, they definitely won’t be fucking blocking punts on Monday Night Football. And what if he comes back off the juice and he fucking blows? Honestly, how many people are actually mentioned in banned substance-use allegations that actually didn’t do it? It’s not like this is some Salem Witch trial where Gio’s douchebag haircut means he’s clearly guilty and deserves to be burned at the stake - we’re actually dealing with, in the words of Lois Einhorn, “that little thing lawyers call EVIDENCE.”  Rizzo needs to get the fucking Wolf from Pulp Fiction clean this shit up.
