1:49[Music]
1:54on january 12 2014 mlb orchestrated a
1:58segment on 60 minutes with one goal make
2:01alex rodriguez look as guilty as
2:04possible tonight you are going to hear
2:07details of the evidence for the first
2:09time his actions
2:11were
2:14beyond comprehension the most important
2:16and controversial interview on this
2:18segment was done by tony bosch he says
2:20that when he got there he had drugs and
2:22alcohol waiting for him in his dressing
2:24room to make him feel more comfortable
2:26they were put there as a gift but he
2:28still doesn't really know who the gift
2:30was from mlb wanted him to go on 60
2:33minutes and tell the world a-rod took
2:36performance-enhancing drugs and that he
2:38as a-rod's personal doctor supplied them
2:41but tony bosch wasn't even a real doctor
2:44he did however know a ton of doctors and
2:47many of them were his family members the
2:49most famous one was his cousin orlando
2:52love him or hate him or ladobosh is
2:54tonight released from prison who
2:56according to the justice department
2:58committed 30 acts of sabotage was
3:00convicted for firing a homemade rocket
3:03at a cargo ship and mastermind a plan to
3:06destroy a commercial airplane with 76
3:09passengers on it and after all of this
3:11he was also officially given his own day
3:14by the city of miami for his
3:16anti-communist cause tony bash's parents
3:19were a lot less controversial they
3:21migrated to the u.s from cuba and became
3:24successful physicians and were able to
3:26give tony an upper class upbringing
3:28according to tony brosh this did not
3:30stop him from getting into trouble in
3:32high school he was kicked off the
3:33baseball team for doing drugs and not
3:35showing up to practice and his lack of
3:37discipline may have stopped tony from
3:39achieving his goal of being a doctor
3:41however it did not stop him from
3:43becoming a fake doctor tony bosch was
3:45already in his 40s but went back to
3:47school and got his degree from central
3:49america health sciences university a
3:52school in belize with less than 500
3:55students at this point tony bosch had
3:57already been divorced had been sued for
3:59unpaid child support had to foreclose on
4:01a home had multiple failed medical
4:04businesses and had been sued by his
4:06investors the degree he got from belize
4:08by no means makes it legal for him to
4:09call himself a doctor but this did not
4:12stop him he framed his diploma bought a
4:14lab coat with dr bosh stitched on it and
4:17opened up an anti-aging clinic in
4:19florida his business model was basically
4:21to prescribe patients with things like
4:22synthetic testosterone human growth
4:24hormone hgc and peptides to basically
4:28anybody who wanted it these substances
4:30are legal to prescribe for several rare
4:32medical conditions and it's safe to
4:34assume that bosch's patients mostly
4:37didn't have these conditions and even if
4:39they did he's not even a doctor so he
4:42can't write a prescription but luckily
4:44for bosch there are a ton of retired
4:46doctors in florida who are willing to
4:48rent out their prescription pads to fake
4:50doctors like bosh if they give him a cut
4:52of the profits bosch's father was one of
4:55them he used his name and several other
4:58doctors to prescribe medications to
5:00basically anybody who wanted it at one
5:02point fosh was writing prescriptions
5:05with the name of a doctor who had been
5:07dead for years and didn't even notice i
5:10thought he was still alive
5:12and yeah but yet and then and then the
5:14other his partner told me no he he died
5:16pretty much everything about this is
5:18illegal but in florida not really in
5:21large part due to a man named rick scott
5:23remember me the handsome bald guy who
5:25oversaw one of the largest health care
5:27frauds in history he was the ceo of a
5:30company that was fined 1.7 billion
5:33dollars for giving patients tests they
5:35didn't need giving fake diagnosis and
5:38health care visits to people who didn't
5:40qualify for them all in order to receive
5:42hundreds of millions of dollars from the
5:45government and in 2011 this man also
5:47became the governor of
5:51you're an florida
5:52to our state
5:54sweet
5:55[Music]
5:56rick scott passed legislation that took
5:58away millions of dollars in funding to
6:00the department of health which was meant
6:02to investigate illegal medical
6:04operations like the one tony bosh ran
6:07according to the miami new times over a
6:09four year span the department of health
6:11investigated and referred 206 cases of
6:14unlicensed practitioners to florida law
6:17enforcement only four of those cases led
6:20to convictions this has created a
6:22massive anti-aging market in florida
6:24where people basically just sell hgh and
6:27testosterone out of a doctor's office to
6:29anybody who wants it this type of gray
6:32market attracts criminals from across
6:34the world it also attracts athletes and
6:36in 2007 tony bosch was introduced to his
6:39most famous client not named alex
6:42rodriguez he was tony bosh's first major
6:44league client and he just so happened to
6:46be one of the best and most outlandish
6:49baseball players of all time manny
6:52ramirez became tony bosh's first vip
6:55client meaning he traveled with him
6:57everywhere to give him a specific
6:59protocol of peds that would change
7:02constantly according to bosch his job
7:04description also meant recruiting women
7:07for manny and sleeping in the same room
7:09with him on the road saying he was asked
7:11to read manny bedtime stories because
7:14ramirez had trouble falling asleep by
7:16himself bosh's protocol required him to
7:18give players small doses of banned
7:20substances at different times throughout
7:22the day to maximize their energy
7:24recovery and performance he used things
7:26like hgh testosterone peptides and
7:28various other substances all banned by
7:31mlb mixed with other legal substances
7:33like zinc melatonin and amino acids all
7:36of them serve their own unique purpose
7:38the banned substances were taken in such
7:40low doses and at strategic times if
7:42taken correctly they would not show up
7:44on random drug tests bosch's clients
7:46would be able to take a testosterone
7:48pill that they would call gummies
7:50moments before a game began and by the
7:52time the game ended it would be
7:53completely out of their system bosch may
7:56have been a fake doctor but his protocol
7:58seemed to work in 2007 manny ramirez
8:00only hit 20 home runs the lowest total
8:03of his career the next year under
8:05bosch's protocol he hit 37 home runs had
8:08an ops above a thousand and finished
8:10fourth in mvp boating he was 36 years
8:14old but in 2009 after getting traded to
8:16the dodgers i'm back
8:18and being one of the best players in the
8:20world while being there manny tested
8:22positive according to bosh manny
8:25accidentally took a testosterone cream
8:27that was supposed to be taken on off
8:29days on the day of the game and randomly
8:32got drug tested manny ramirez publicly
8:34claimed he was prescribed a pad from a
8:36doctor but thought it was legal and a
8:38source close to manny even told the
8:40media that his drug test was due to
8:42medicine he took for erectile
8:44dysfunction tony bosch and his father's
8:46names were made public as the people
8:48responsible for supplying manny and soon
8:50the dea was investigating them both this
8:53seemed like it could be the end of tony
8:55bosh's clinic but in reality it only
8:57made his business more popular bosch
9:00laid low and was never charged according
9:02to him once everybody found out he was
9:04supplying manny ramirez he went from
9:06seeing five to seven patients a week to
9:09seeing around 60 patients a week bosch
9:11is mostly known for supplying major
9:13leaguers but a large part of his clients
9:15were either regular professional workers
9:17or amateur athletes and a lot of these
9:20amateur athletes came with their parents
9:23in 2013 a survey found that hgh use
9:26amongst teenagers had doubled in only
9:28one year the survey also found that 11
9:31percent of high school students had
9:34tried hgh before and an even crazier
9:36stat found that hga's prescriptions for
9:39teens in palm beach county florida from
9:412003 to 2011 rose
9:45376 percent the same county tony bosch's
9:49clinic was located in according to bosch
9:51a man named laser would help him recruit
9:54high school players to his clinic he was
9:56a pitching coach for the university of
9:57miami but left after he let high school
9:59players use the miami facility and took
10:01recruits on boat rides he was also fired
10:04from another coaching job after dropping
10:06his pants in front of the whole team and
10:08asking them if they quote unquote had a
10:10pair of these however the school says
10:13other than that he was a good leader and
10:14administrator laser was accused of
10:16recruiting high school players and even
10:18taking his own sons to bosch's clinic
10:21for testosterone he was even supposed to
10:23be arrested for distribution of the
10:25substance but never was because he was
10:27in the hospital after breaking up a
10:29fight between two dogs however laser
10:32took a plea deal and was only punished
10:34for possession of testosterone it is not
10:36clear if laser or anybody actually
10:38actively recruited high school players
10:40to the clinic but bosch admits that he
10:42gave at least 18 kids as young as 15
10:45years old peds because sadly tony bosch
10:48would pretty much work with anybody
10:51including criminals and the most
10:52noticeable one was a man named oogie
10:55he's been arrested for grand theft drug
10:57offenses burglary and was charged with
10:59domestic violence and battery he also
11:02somehow happened to be an acquaintance
11:04with alex rodriguez oogie became tony
11:07bosch's black market testosterone
11:08supplier because bosch had so many
11:10clients he couldn't get all the
11:12substances he needed through
11:14prescriptions oogie also helped tony
11:16bosch open up a new clinic called boca
11:18body which was a clinic located in a
11:21boca tanning salon
11:30and this is where tony bosch met a guy
11:32named porter fisher bosch put porter
11:35fischer on one of his protocols and soon
11:38fisher surrounded himself with bosch
11:40anytime he could porter fisher is just a
11:43random guy who likes tanning and
11:45testosterone but he would go on to
11:47become a lot more because he would do
11:50something to get back at tony bosch that
11:52would ruin bosch's life put his own life
11:54in serious serious danger and basically
11:57caused the biggest ped scandal in
12:00baseball history bosch's new
12:02testosterone dealer oogie would go on to
12:04introduce him to alex rodriguez who told
12:06him right away that he wanted whatever
12:09manny ramirez was taking tony bosch did
12:11and within a week awot hit three home
12:13runs in a single game he was immediately
12:16bosh's newest and biggest vip client but
12:20at this point he was one of many it
12:22seems like bosch was extremely busy
12:24giving players across the league his
12:26attention he claims he injected one
12:28player at a gas station one player told
12:31him hours before a game he needed help
12:32with an injection so he drove to marlins
12:35park picked up the player who was in
12:37full uniform went to a local polio
12:39tropical and injected him in the
12:41bathroom he even says he once had to
12:44take a blood sample from a-rod in a
12:46miami nightclub the two continued
12:48partying and bosch ended up losing the
12:50vial of blood the two literally crawled
12:53on the ground in the crowded club trying
12:55to find it bosch's laundry list of major
12:57leaguers included several all-stars mvps
13:00and players who seemed like locks to be
13:02hall of famers but today the chances
13:04that any of these players are going to
13:05make the hall of fame have decreased
13:07significantly because starting in 2011
13:10bosch's clients began testing positive
13:12and other than alex rodriguez the first
13:14one of them to fall went as far as
13:17anybody to clear his name including
13:19making up accusations against an
13:21innocent man which completely ruined his
13:23reputation all in order to make the
13:25player seem like he was clean and this
13:28actually worked in october 2011 ryan
13:32braun set a record for having the
13:34highest testosterone ever recorded in a
13:36major league drug test and according to
13:38the daily news it was twice as high as
13:40the person who previously held the
13:42record this was the same season braun
13:45won nl mvp and up to that point he had a
13:48start to his career that rivaled
13:49anyone's after news of his positive
13:51tests went public braun went into
13:53full-on denial he blamed the person who
13:56handled his sample for not following
13:58protocol braun publicly hinted that he
14:00discovered some quote unquote suspicious
14:02things about the man taking the sample
14:05braun even reportedly told players
14:07across the league that the man was a
14:09cubs fan and was anti-semitic ryan braun
14:13is jewish and claimed this could be why
14:15his test came up positive but in reality
14:17ron was extremely aware his hgh and
14:20testosterone use probably had more to do
14:22with the positive test the man who took
14:24bronze sample was supposed to give it to
14:26fedex to be shipped but since fedex was
14:28closing soon and the sample wouldn't be
14:30shipped until the next day he waited to
14:32avoid the risk that the sample would be
14:34tampered or broken in the hands of fedex
14:36and apparently this was enough to
14:38overturn ryan braun's suspension the
14:41investigators found that the sample seal
14:43was never broken or tampered with but
14:46still waiting that extra day was
14:48technically against the rules and made
14:50the test invalid few months later the
14:52man who decided to reverse the
14:54suspension was fired commissioner bud
14:56selig wanted ryan braun and anyone else
14:59doing peds suspended and soon he would
15:02get his wish because about a year later
15:04tony bosh's empire began to crumble in
15:072012 two of tony bash's clients tested
15:10positive in one week bartolo colon
15:12tested positive and was suspended 50
15:15games bosch served cologne and
15:17exclusively referred to him by the
15:18nickname dui when he tested positive he
15:22was 39 years old and was putting up his
15:24best era in 10 years that same week
15:27melky cabrera tested positive as well
15:30only one week after winning the all-star
15:32game mvp award who were these lovely
15:34ladies i'm thank you they're fine we got
15:37mom here who else is here with you thank
15:38you thank you
15:40he also made an extremely insane attempt
15:44to plead his innocence melki claimed he
15:46took a supplement that he saw advertised
15:48online that was fraudulently spiked with
15:51testosterone this was a complete lie but
15:53to back it up melky bought a website
15:55from a company for ten thousand dollars
15:58then created a fake supplement with fake
16:00advertisements to convince mlb he had
16:03accidentally bought it online they
16:05quickly discovered it was a fraud and
16:06suspended him 50 games at this point
16:09bosch was in huge trouble he knew this
16:11would likely lead to another dea
16:13investigation and three of his biggest
16:15clients were suspended and no longer
16:17wanted his service so bosch needed money
16:21to keep his business alive and this is
16:23where porter fisher comes in porter
16:25fisher was still some random guy who
16:27liked tanning and testosterone but
16:29around this time he was hit by a car
16:32while riding his bike and was rewarded a
16:34large amount of insurance money tony
16:36bosch found out about this and convinced
16:39him to invest four thousand dollars of
16:41this money into the clinic an investment
16:44bosch never planned to pay back as time
16:47went on porter fischer became insanely
16:50upset about this he stole all of bosch's
16:52files called a miami newspaper and
16:54exposed tony bosch and all the athletes
16:57he worked with the miami new times used
16:59the files porter fisher stole to link
17:01melky cabrera bartolo colon yasmani
17:04grandahl nelson cruz and alex rodriguez
17:07to tony bosch most people are unaware
17:09that mlb has something called the
17:11department of investigations a group of
17:14former high-level ex-law enforcement and
17:16intelligence agents which is essentially
17:18the fbi of mlb so if there's any
17:22problems like a steroid scandal the
17:24league can look into the matter
17:25themselves mlb immediately sent this
17:27department to investigate every player
17:30and person involved in the scandal and
17:32their main target was alex rodriguez
17:35he'd already been busted for peds once
17:37and many within mlb wanted to see him
17:39banned for life so a-rod used his
17:42millions and basically set up his own
17:44department of investigations to combat
17:46mlb's department of investigations and
17:48over the next year the two squared off
17:51and broke many laws while doing so mlb
17:54and a-rod's first priority was to obtain
17:56tony bosh's records and the only person
17:59in the world who had these original
18:01files was porter fisher abroad's camp
18:03offered him ten thousand dollars porter
18:06fisher was scared oogie might kill him
18:08if he didn't give them the files so he
18:10did a-rod took these files and leaked
18:12the names of ryan braun and his own
18:15teammate francisco cervelli just to take
18:18some of the media attention off himself
18:20ryan braun was suspended 65 games and
18:23said sorry for lying and ruining the
18:25urine collector's reputation i wish that
18:27i could go back and change things but i
18:29don't have that opportunity to do that
18:30so
18:31i'm just going to do everything mlb also
18:33desperately wanted these files but
18:35porter fisher knew that giving these
18:36files would put his life in great danger
18:39from a-rod's camp mlb offered to make
18:41porter fischer a full-time employee
18:44paying him a thousand dollars a week he
18:46said no they offered him an additional
18:48ten thousand dollars he said no then
18:51they offered him 125 grand he said no
18:54again so they went a different more
18:57illegal route one day porter fischer was
18:59going to take these original files to
19:01the florida health department for
19:02evidence but before he went he stopped
19:05by the tanning salon while porter fisher
19:07was in the tanning bed somebody broke
19:10into his car and stole the files they
19:13then took these stolen files and sold
19:15them to mlb for a hundred and twenty
19:17five thousand dollars buying storm files
19:20that were meant to go to the state of
19:21florida for an active investigation
19:24seems pretty illegal so the people who
19:26sold them these files filmed the
19:28transaction and then sold the footage to
19:31a-rod so he could have more dirt on mlb
19:34but when a-rod got the hard drive it was
19:36blank so they basically sold a-rod a
19:39blank hard drive for literally hundreds
19:42of thousands of dollars at this point
19:44a-rod and mlb both have copies of tony
19:47bosch's files mlb plan to use them as
19:49evidence to give a-rod an extremely long
19:52suspension but needed tony bosch to
19:54cooperate and confirm to a third party
19:57that the files were real to convince him
19:59to cooperate mlb investigators bought
20:02bosch's girlfriend flowers and shoes
20:05they also sued him and said if he did
20:07cooperate they would drop the lawsuit
20:09average camp did not want this to happen
20:11so they offered tony bosch 25 000 a
20:14month until the scandal blew over they
20:17also were willing to pay him an
20:18additional 50 grand to flee the country
20:22and live in colombia so there was
20:24absolutely no risk of mlb getting him to
20:27cooperate a-rod's camp also leaked
20:29information to the media that the head
20:31of mlb's investigation slept with one of
20:34tony bosh's nurses she was a potential
20:38witness and this was not a good look and
20:40caused mlb to later fire him but before
20:44he was fired he was able to get tony
20:46bosch to cooperate with mlb bosch turned
20:49down all of a rod's money and because of
20:52this tony says he received a text most
20:55likely from a-rod's camp that said he
20:57wouldn't live to see the end of the year
21:00tony bosch then basically went on a
21:02full-out media tour giving his tell-all
21:04story under the direction of mlb he most
21:07famously went on outside the lines where
21:09he was visibly intoxicated no comment
21:13i'm a nutritionist
21:15i don't know anything about the
21:16performance enhancing drugs i had no
21:18idea what i was saying in that interview
21:20to be quite honest with you he also did
21:2260 minutes and said he had drugs and
21:24alcohol waiting for him when he got to
21:26his dressing room mlb suspended a-rod
21:28211 games the biggest suspension in
21:31baseball history but a-rod was not done
21:34fighting he appealed continued to play
21:37got booed
21:40and got hit by pitches that offseason
21:42a-rod and mlb went into an arbitration
21:45meeting where the two camps would tell
21:46their side of the story and an
21:48independent party would decide the
21:50suspension throughout the hearing up to
21:52150 people gathered to protest and even
21:55held a candlelight vigil in a-rod's
21:57defense the signs were all written in
21:59the same black marker and apparently the
22:02protest was organized by hispanics
22:04across america an organization that
22:06reportedly received an anonymous
22:08donation for a hundred thousand dollars
22:11to protest leading many to speculate
22:13that a-rod paid people to show up to
22:16support his fight against mlb which
22:18didn't go particularly well according to
22:20tony bosch a-rod told the arbitrator he
22:22thought he was taking an erectile
22:24dysfunction medication other reports say
22:26his lawyer almost got into a brawl with
22:27reporters and got into an altercation
22:30with tony bosh's lawyers a-rod was asked
22:32to stop after making weird faces towards
22:35tony bosch while he was talking and
22:37eventually stormed out of the meeting
22:39told rob manford he was full of bs went
22:42to wfan and famously said this and today
22:45i just
22:46i lost my mind i banged the table and
22:48kicked
22:50a briefcase and slammed out of the room
22:52and and he doesn't have the courage
22:54to come look at me in the eye and tell
22:56me
22:57this is why i did 211 i shouldn't serve
22:59one inning
23:01and this guy should come to my he would
23:03end up getting his suspension lowered to
23:05162 games which is still an mlb record
23:09in the end over 15 players would be
23:11suspended in relation to tony bosch
23:14three of mlb's top investigators were
23:16later fired likely because of what they
23:18did during this scandal tony bosch
23:20himself only received a five thousand
23:22dollar fine from the state of florida
23:24but then the dea stepped in his chemist
23:26and his supplier oogie were sentenced to
23:28prison and tony bosch was given four
23:30years his sentence has since been
23:32reduced and he is now a free man
23:34currently he is back in the industry
23:36owning a business which he describes as
23:38a technology company educating other
