NEW YORK They were introduced by a mutual acquaintance who believed that
they could help each other.
.
Bartolo Colon, 37, was broken-down and overweight, but harbored dreams of
returning to the major leagues. Leonel Liriano, 48, was a doctor in the
Dominican Republic in search of a high-profile athlete willing to try a
controversial form of stem-cell therapy. When he failed to convince
retired Red Sox star Pedro Martinez to give the procedure a try, Liriano
turned to Colon, and a partnership was born.
.
A little more than 20 months later, Colon is thriving as a pitcher for the
Yankees thanks to a fastball resurrected, the result of injuries healed
with stem cells taken from his own bone marrow and fat tissues.
.
The unlikely recovery, however, has prompted questions about whether
Colons success has been a product of a medical miracle or simply a
sophisticated form of cheating.
.
He worked hard, Liriano said in a telephone interview today. And he let
the stem cells do their job.
.
Still, Major League Baseball has launched an investigation into the
matter, spurred by the chance that the procedures included the use of
banned human growth hormone.
.
The only thing that we used was his bone marrow and his fat tissues, thats
it, said Liriano, who assembled a team that was headed by an American
doctor, Joseph Purita.
