More names on the horizon for PED Scandal
- The whistleblower whose information lead to Ryan Braun’s
suspension on Tuesday says he has information on more players in sports other
than baseball. Porter Fischer claims that he has names of players in the NBA,
NCAA, Boxing, Tennis and MMA. This is in addition to other baseball players whose
involvement with Biogenesis has not completely come to light.
- Fischer says that MLB is the only league who has approached
him for the information. It is reported by ESPN that MLB paid Fischer something
in the range of $125,000 for the information he has.
- Fischer apparently brought this information to light when
the head of Biogenesis refused to make good on payments of $3,600 he owed
Fischer. Fischer was able to exact his revenge and turn this information into
something quite a bit more substantial.
- How much money would it take for you to work out with your co-workers instead of at home or in a different setting? For San Francisco 49ers CB Tarell Brown, the unfortunate answer is probably a very high number.
- Brown, a starting CB signed a 3 year deal worth a little bit more than $2.9 million per year. As part of the deal, he just had to show up for the offseason workout program to lift some weights, run some sprints, and go through some drills. However, Brown prefers to workout at home, something he has always done and was completely unaware of the clause in his contract. He didn't find out about his lost money until he read about it on Twitter after the fact.
- His agent, Brian Overstreet, had apparently not made this a point of emphasis to Brown, who seemed about as happy as most people would be after losing more than 2/3 of their annual salary for missing a couple days of work would be. Overstreet was fired immediately via (what we would guess was) a very unpleasant phone call.
