Sonia Cruz is the spokeswoman for Robinson Cano's RC24 Foundation, a charity affixed to the New York Yankees star. Cruz also looked into a weight loss program at Biogenesis, the Miami-area "anti-aging" clinic alleged to have trafficked performance-enhancing drugs to dozens of major and minor league baseball players. Records indicate Cruz owed Biogenesis $300 in both July and August of 2012.
All this comes out of a new ESPN report by T.J. Quinn and Mike Fish, which says Major League Baseball is now investigating Cano's ties to Biogenesis. The league hasn't spoken to Cano, but it is, according to ESPN, looking to set up interviews with him and other players linked to Biogenesis. Alex Rodriguez, Ryan Braun, Nelson Cruz and Melky Cabrera are among the players who have been linked to the clinic in the past.
Cano's case looks different from some of the others. His name doesn't appear in the documents, as far as anybody knows. The $600 linked to his spokeswoman's name is less than a baseball star would be paying for PEDs, even if he had an associate act as a conduit. In the initial Biogenesis news, players were reportedly paying thousands per month to the clinic.
