Blood Sport Zusammenfassung

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

The definitive and dramatic story of the Alex Rodriguez and Biogenesis scandal, written by the reporters who broke and covered the story.

Blood Sport is riveting...a tragicomedy filled with characters straight out of a Carl Hiaasen novel.-The Washington Post

The effects of the Biogenesis case-the biggest drug scandal in the history of American sports-are still being felt today. Fifteen Major League Baseball players were suspended, including Yankees superstar Alex Rodriguez. 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 Elfrink-who broke that first story in the Miami New Times-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 an epilogue revealing the stunning aftermath of the scandal and its effects for years to come.

Praise for Blood Sport

A rollicking new book that reads like tragicomic noir fiction.-Huffington Post Live

Riveting...The story of Rodriguez's alliance with Bosch-and their eventual falling-out, with disastrous consequences for both-is a tragicomedy filled with characters straight out of a Carl Hiaasen novel: fake doctors, ex-cons, small-time grifters and a shady tanning-bed repairman whose theft of some Biogenesis documents set in motion much of the legal drama that ensued.-The Washington Post

Tim Elfrink's stories have brought down Alex Rodriguez, shut down the clinic that provided A-Rod performance-enhancing drugs, led to the record-breaking suspension of more than a dozen major leaguers and helped to usher in a new, seemingly cleaner era for baseball.-The Omaha World-Herald

Blood Sport: Alex Rodriguez, Biogenesis, and the Quest to End Baseball's Steroid Era is full of juicy bits.-CBS New York

Once again, baseball proves to be more scandalous than a telenovela!-Perez Hilton
