NEW YORK -- The lawyer who helped overturn Ryan Brauns drug suspension last year has been added to Alex Rodriguezs legal team. David Cornwell has joined Jay Reisinger to represent Rodriguez in baseballs drug investigation, a person familiar with the hiring said Friday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no announcement was authorized. His hiring was first reported by ESPN. Cornwell successfully argued the grievance filed by the players association on behalf of Braun, whose positive drug test was thrown out by an arbitrator in February 2012 because the collector of the urine sample didnt take it directly to a Federal Express office on a Saturday evening, instead storing it at home until the following Monday. Anthony Bosch, head of the now-closed Biogenesis of America anti-aging clinic, agreed this week to co-operate with MLBs investigation. Rodriguez, Braun and more than a dozen other players have been linked to the clinic, which was accused in January by the Miami News Times of providing banned performance-enhancing drugs. Bosch was to meet Friday in Miami with MLB officials, another person familiar with the investigation said, also on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized. MLB sued Biogenesis, Bosch and five others in March. The case file in Floridas Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County showed that MLB lawyers issued subpoenas to UPS and Metro PCS asking for records, in addition to document demands made on Federal Express, AT&T Mobility and T-Mobile USA. UPS spokesman Dan McMackin said the company "responds to all lawfully issued subpoenas." Metro PCS did not respond to an email and phone message seeking comment. The court file also showed former University of Miami pitching coach Lazaro Collazo objected to having his deposition taken by MLB lawyers because he said he had no connections with Biogenesis and Bosch and he had no documents relevant to the subpoena. Collazo filed a motion saying he was interviewed at his home by Neil Boland, MLBs vice-president for information security, and MLB labour lawyer Patrick Houlihan, which Collazos motion said was an encounter "fraught with intimidation, coercion, embarrassment and repeated questioning" about Biogenesis. Collazo claimed the deposition was an effort to "annoy and harass" him. "They did no such thing," MLB executive vice-president Rob Manfred said Friday. The deposition was cancelled May 28.Mike Gartner Jersey .ca! Hi Kerry, Its another day and here we are looking at another dubious hit to the head.

A university hearing officer cleared Callaway of sexual assault on Aug. 12, saying Callaway was not responsible based on a preponderance of evidence. The woman, her attorney and witnesses boycotted the hearing, saying the hearing officer was biased because of his financial contributions to the Gators.The woman had until last Friday to appeal the ruling.Callaways return could be big for the Gators. The Miami native had 35 catches for 678 yards and four touchdowns as a freshman last season and returned two punts for touchdowns.Were fired up to have Antonio in the lineup, quarterback Luke Del Rio said. Hes done a tremendous job in practice. Hes been consistent every day and worked really hard to get it shape. And when he came back, we embraced him with open arms and hes done a great job getting back into the groove. It can be difficult for some people.Definitely going to be an advantage to have him out there because hes such a great player both on offense and on special teams. It will be fun.Callaway was suspended in January for violating the universitys code of conduct policy. The accuser diid not go to police.dddddddddddd Instead, she reported the incident to the universitys office of student affairs. Callaway was not allowed on campus, forced to take classes online. He was partially reinstated in June, allowed to return to campus and work out with teammates.There was some belief that Callaway might be suspended for at least a game, especially after he testified that he was high on marijuana at the time of the alleged sexual assault in early December.But McElwain said two weeks ago that Callaway has dealt with a lot, obviously not being allowed on campus, not being part of the family, not being part what we can do to help, be supportive.The Gators will have at least five players suspended for the opener.Freshmen receivers Tyrie Cleveland and Rick Wells wont play because they are facing felony charges for allegedly firing BB guns into a residential hall last month. All-Southeastern Conference cornerback Jalen Tabor and tight end Cyontai Lewis will join them on the sideline. They were suspended for fighting in practice. And McElwain said one senior -- he declined to name him -- wont play.You know, weve had some guys that obviously made some choices not to play in this game, McElwain said. Those guys will join us when the times ready.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
