Biogenesis scandal

The Biogenesis scandal involved a Florida-based clinic accused of supplying performance-enhancing drugs to professional athletes, including Major League Baseball players. In 2013, investigations revealed that the clinic, Biogenesis of America, was distributing banned substances, leading to suspensions and controversies in sports. The scandal raised questions about drug use in athletics, the integrity of competition, and how organizations handle doping violations. It highlighted the ongoing battle between maintaining fair play and the lengths some athletes go to gain an edge. The fallout included significant penalties for players involved and increased scrutiny on drug testing in sports.
