Rodriguez’s ‘Gummies’: Files Detail Doping, Down to Milligram

...The report and its descriptions of Rodriguez’s suspected doping habits, down to the milligram, were made public on Monday as the coda to one of the longest running soap operas in sports.

Rodriguez has repeatedly denied that he has used banned substances since joining the Yankees in 2004, and on Monday, he filed papers asking a federal judge to vacate the season-long suspension that Horowitz announced two days earlier.

The arbitrator Fredric Horowitz reduced baseball’s ban of Alex Rodriguez from 211 games to a full season of 162 games.Horowitz, who was jointly appointed by baseball officials and the players’ union, wrote the report after hearing 12 days of evidence presented by Major League Baseball officials and Rodriguez’s lawyers.

The independent report describes in detail the shadowy life — and complicated diet — of a big-league doper who juggled four injections with two muscle treatments, two skin creams, two lozenges, and six oral doses. And that was just “PHASE 1,” according to the report.

OK, there we are. A thorough discrediting.

So, A-Roid, please STFU already.
