A-Rod facing deposition in suit from Biogenesis defendant

Related Topics: Alex Rodriguez, Lawyer, Defendant

Alex Rodriguez may miss playing time this season if lawyers for former University of Miami baseball coach Lazaro Collazo decide they want to depose the steroid-stained slugger.

Collazo, who was one of the defendants in the federal Biogenesis case, filed the civil claim in June, 2015 and his lawyers amended it last fall.

The complaint charges Rodriguez, his longtime business associate Jose (Pepe) Gomez and private investigations firm, Guideposts, with one count of invasion of privacy. The complaint alleges that the defendants violated state law after they purchased Collazo’s medical records and disseminated them to third parties, including federal prosecutors, during the Biogenesis investigation.
