Rodriguez also described how Bosch gave the ballplayer tips on how to beat MLB's drug testing, the DEA report said.

The secret? According to Rodriguez, Bosch advised him to only use mid-stream urine for MLB drug testing. Bosch told Rodriguez not to use the beginning or the end urine stream.

During the meeting, Bosch told Rodriguez that he treated hundreds of baseball players

Hundreds. Hundreds.

To pay his drug dealer, Rodriguez would either write personal checks to “cash” — to avoid any paper trail — or he would request “petty cash” from the Yankees’ team secretary

“Bosch told Rodriguez that [former Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox outfielder] Manny Ramirez was one of his clients. Bosch took credit for how well Ramirez performed in baseball.”

Ramirez, who is no longer playing in the majors, was one of the best hitters of his generation. At the time of that discussion, he had been exposed as a steroid cheat, having been suspended in 2009 for 50 games after testing positive.

Bosch said Ramirez got caught because he didn’t follow Bosch’s “protocols.”

Besides Rodriguez, prosecutors granted “direct immunity” to a total of eight current and former professional players: Ryan Braun; Melky Cabrera; Nelson Cruz; Francisco Cervelli; Yasmani Grandal; Cesar David Puello; Jordany Valdespin, and Manny Ramirez. Direct immunity means their statements can’t be used against them in the Biogenesis criminal case.

A test that AROD took while using steroids came up negative using the mid stream urine technique.

Victor Conte, founder of the infamous BALCO lab that created designer PEDs, calls it “good instruction” for avoiding detection. “I do think there is a different concentration of metabolites in the first portion of a urine stream,” says Conte. However, Conte doesn’t think submitting the end of the stream would increase an athlete’s likelihood of getting caught.

Outgoing baseball commissioner Bud Selig touts his sport's testing protocol as tough. And yet Rodriguez and several other high-profile players have shown they can beat it. No matter how Rodriguez did it, a positive test didn't catch him. An investigation, and now this reported confession, did. I don't have the confidence, says Catlin, that baseball is doing it right.

It was Mid Stream from what I can see. But I'll take the point deduction.

Haha. Perfect! I only wish that "Andy MacPhail and the Percolators" would open up for them.
