I've never met or spoken with Tony Bosch or used any substance provided by him. Anything said to the contrary is a lie," Gonzalez said on Twitter.</p> <p>The report links Gonzalez and other Major League players -- including Alex Rodriguez, Nelson Cruz, Bartolo Colon, Yasmani Grandal and Melky Cabrera -- to an anti-aging clinic called Biogenesis, which reportedly supplied PEDs. According to the report, Gonzalez's name appears five times in notes belonging to Bosch, who was the clinic's chief.</p> <p>Included in the notes was a $1,000 order for Aminorip, a muscle-building protein. However, none of the ingredients listed in Aminorip is on MLB's list of prohibited substances. On Wednesday, the Miami New Times released a new document that listed Gonzalez's name next to a list of ingredients for "pink cream," a synthetic testosterone. Testosterone is on MLB's list of prohibited substances.</p> <p>General manager Mike Rizzo said in a statement: "The issue is currently being reviewed by Major League Baseball and it would be inappropriate for the Nationals to comment until that review is completed."</p> <p>Gonzalez's father, Max, told the New Times that his son didn't know Bosch. Max Gonzalez went to the clinic to lose weight.</p> <p>"My son works very, very hard, and he's as clean as apple pie," Max Gonzalez told the paper. "I went to Tony because I needed to lose weight. A friend recommended him, and he did great work for me. But that's it. He never met my son. Never. And if I knew he was doing these things with steroids, do you think I'd be dumb enough to go there?"</p> <p>Gonzalez is coming off his best season in the Major Leagues, having gone 21-8 with a 2.89 ERA and 207 strikeouts and earned a third-place finish in the National League Cy Young Award vote.</p></p> </div> <p class="article-tagline"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130131175039/mailto:bill.ladson@mlb.com"><b>Bill Ladson</b></a> is a reporter for MLB.com and writes an MLBlog, <b><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130131175039/http://therocket.mlblogs.com/">All Nats All the time</a></b>.
