Alex Rodriguez reportedly informed on MLB players who were involved with Anthony Bosch
According to ESPN, Rodriguez met with the federal agents and prosecutors on January 29, 2014 in Weston, Florida.
He was granted immunity under a deal known colloquially as ‘Queen for a Day’ — meaning he could not be prosecuted over information revealed in the session, but had to tell the truth or face charges for lying to federal agents.
The meeting came after Rodriguez’s MLB arbitration hearing, meaning that his statements to the feds, which were likely shared with the league, wouldn’t factor into MLB sanctions.
MLB’s independent arbitrator had already suspended him for the entirety of the 2014 season, finding that he was a drug cheater and had tried to obstruct the league’s investigation into the Biogenesis scandal.
During arbitration, Rodriguez and his attorneys had furiously denied allegations that he’d used PEDs, accusing Biogenesis owner Bosch of setting him up.
According to ESPN, the meeting with the feds was the first time that Rodriguez admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs purchased from Bosch.
The report cited roughly 1,400 pages of unredacted DEA investigative files, saying that Rodriguez admitted paying Bosch some $12,000 a month for testosterone creams, red lozenges containing testosterone and human growth hormone between late in the 2010 season through October 2012.
Bosch, who owned the now-defunct Biogenesis clinic, pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute testosterone and was sentenced in February 2015 to four years in prison.

Rodriguez was never charged in the Biogenesis scandal, and bounced back from his 2014 suspension to play for the Yankees in 2015 and 2016.
He retired from the sport on August 12, 2016 and went on to find success as a media personality and sports commentator.
He currently hosts a simulcast of Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN2 with Michael Kay.
