Tigers | Jhonny Peralta connected with PED scandal

Detroit Tigers SS Jhonny Peralta is named in the records of Biogenesis owner Tony Bosch, who is under investigation by Major League Baseball for distributing performance-enhancing drugs to baseball players, according to sources familiar with the records. He becomes the fifth client of 12 listed names associated with the ACES agency of Seth and Sam Levinson that are connected to the PED records. However, Peralta doesn't look to be directly tied to any specific PEDs. Peralta is already denying ever using PEDs, too. "I have never used performance enhancing drugs. Period. Anybody who says otherwise is lying," Peralta said in a statement.
