ESPN report: MLB to suspend players for PEDs

The New York Yankees' Alex Rodriguez and Milwaukee Brewers' Ryan Braun are among about 20 players that Major League Baseball is preparing to suspend, according to a report aired Tuesday night by Outside The Lines on ESPN.

The network's investigative report said the players are reportedly linked to the Biogenesis Clinic in Miami. Outside The Lines reported two sources said that clinic founder Tony Bosch had agreed to cooperate with MLB and testify against players that allegedly received performance-enhancing drugs through his operation.

The report also said Rodriguez is among a smaller group that could be suspended for 100 games because of a previous violation. A first-time violation carries a 50-game suspension.
