A previously elusive figure in the Biogenesis performance-enhancing drug scandal has spoken out, saying clinic founder Anthony Bosch visited Alex Rodriguez during last year's American League Championship Series after the New York Yankees slugger sought his help amid a 1-for-9 slump. The Yankees, when contacted by the New York Daily News, said they had no knowledge of Bosch's presence in Detroit at the ALCS. The Tigers swept the Yankees before going on to lose the World Series to the San Francisco Giants. Porter Fischer, who has been described in some clinic documents as a marketing director before having an apparent falling-out with Bosch last year, also told the Miami New Times in a story published on the weekly newspaper's website that Major League Baseball paid him $5,000 for clinic records he turned over to the league in its investigation of the clinic's South Florida reach. Sources have told ESPN's "Outside the Lines" that Fischer left Biogenesis of America in September. Fischer, two sources said, had invested $20,000 in the company but grew disenchanted with Bosch and demanded his money back. The sources said Bosch eventually paid Fischer the $20,000 but refused to pay an additional $4,000 that Fischer said he was owed. Source: ESPN New York
