Major League Baseball Suspends 13 Players in Doping Scandal; Alex Rodriguez Appeals

HeadlineAug 06, 2013

Major League Baseball has suspended New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez and a dozen other players as part of a massive doping scandal linked to an anti-aging clinic in Florida. Rodriguez was banned through the 2014 season, but immediately appealed, allowing him to play Monday night, while the other players received 50-game suspensions. The league says Rodriguez used performance-enhancing drugs and then interfered with the investigation into the now-defunct Miami clinic.
