New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez admitted to use of performance-enhancing drugs in January, reports confirmed.

Rodriguez, who was recently reinstated after serving one-year suspension for his involvement in the Biogenesis scandal, reportedly told the Drug Enforcement Administration that he used PEDs.

According to the Miami Herald, Rodriguez admitted to the DEA that he paid Biogenesis founder Anthony Bosch to get PEDs and undergo treatment that would significantly improve his performance, including an injection that was conducted in a night club in Miami.

"Rodriguez injected the HGH into his stomach," the DEA report stated. "Rodriguez said Bosch told him the HGH would help with sleep, weight, hair growth, eyesight and muscle recovery."

Rodriguez, along with several players involved in the scandal, tested negative when they underwent drug testing before. According to the report, Bosch actually gave his clients tips on "how to beat MLB's drug testing" procedure.

"Bosch advised him to only use mid-stream urine for MLB drug testing. Bosch told Rodriguez not to use the beginning or the end urine stream," the DEA report added.

In the summer of 2010 when Rodriguez was having troubles with his knees, the veteran third baseman reportedly looked for ways to lose around five to 10 pounds of weight. He was reportedly referred to Bosch, who mentioned several MLB players, whose performance improved after getting help from him.

"During the meeting, Bosch told Rodriguez that he treated hundreds of baseball players," the DEA report stated. "Bosch told Rodriguez [that former Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox outfielder] Manny Ramirez was one of his clients. Bosch took credit for how well Ramirez performed in baseball."

Ramirez was suspended for 50 games for testing positive for banned substances in 2009. Bosch reportedly told Rodriguez that Ramirez was caught cheating because he did not follow his advice on how to beat the procedure.

In 2009, Rodriguez admitted to using performance enhancing drugs when he was still with the Texas Rangers in 2001. But when the Biogenesis scandal was revealed, Rodriguez stood firm in his stance that he did not take any banned substances, but the DEA report might prove that the Yankees star lied to the public.
