New York Yankees superstar Alex Rodriguez allegedly admitted to taking performance enhancing drugs during a meeting with the Drug Enforcement Agency earlier this year.

The admission is contained in DEA documents provided to defense attorneys for former University of Miami pitching coach Lazaro “Laser” Collazo, reports ESPN. Collazo and Rodriguez were both implicated in the wide-ranging investigation into Florida’s Biogenesis of American clinic, which allegedly supplied performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) to a number of Major League Baseball players, including Rodriguez.
