NEW YORK -- One of Alex Rodriguezs lawyers wants Major League Baseball to release testimony about whether Commissioner Bud Selig knew Anthony Bosch distributed banned substances to teenagers. Rob Manfred, baseballs chief operating officer, testified last week during the grievance filed by the players union to overturn Rodriguezs 211-game suspension. A person familiar with the hearing, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press on Saturday that Manfred testified the sport wasnt concerned whether Bosch distributed performance-enhancing drugs to minors because MLBs interest was his relationship with players under investigation. Baseball suspended 13 players last summer following its investigation of Boschs now-closed Biogenesis of America anti-aging clinic. Rodriguez received the lengthiest penalty and was the only one in the group to contest his discipline. Manfred said he explained during his testimony that MLBs focus was on whether players violated the sports drug agreement or labour contract. He also said MLB had been a leader in preventing steroid abuse by youth. "While Mr. Manfred has violated the confidentiality requirements of the collective bargaining agreement by making reference to his testimony, we choose to live up to our obligations," Joseph Tacopina, one of Rodriguezs lawyers, said in a statement Sunday. "However, Mr. Manfred knows that he has not accurately described his testimony. We therefore call on him to put forward his full testimony at the hearing about his and commissioner Seligs knowledge of, and relative regard for, Mr. Boschs dealing performance enhancing drugs to minors at the time MLB struck its co-operation and indemnity deal with Mr. Bosch." Speaking Sunday, Manfred blamed Rodriguezs side for the release of information from the hearing. "There have been numerous and ongoing leaks from Mr. Tacopina and other members of the Rodriguez camp," he said. "We have made limited responses to correct the inaccuracies that have been put out by those associated with Mr. Rodriguez. It is ironic that Mr. Tacopina would have the temerity to complain about breaches of the confidentiality agreement."
