Anthony Bosch's tangle of ties, titles--He befriended players while tapping expertise of hormone therapy doctors and the wellness or anti-aging industries

CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- The self-described biochemist targeted by Major League Baseball as a supplier of performance-enhancing drugs has strong links to clinics and individuals who make a living in the South Florida wellness or anti-aging industries.
Even as he treated athletes, Anthony Bosch had designs on setting up a national distribution network for performance enhancers such as growth hormone and testosterone, "Outside the Lines" has learned.
