He's talking about Biogenesis, which is a huge story in MLB right now. It was an anti aging clinic that supplied many MLB players with PED, so testing protocol has nothing to do with it. These records would provide names of the athletes that purchased the drugs, along with when and what they were taking. This could very well be true. If that many baseball players were going there, it would be pretty safe to assume athletes from other sports were as well.
OK, that's different (I hadn't heard about this), but it makes the story even less believable: if, as the OP claims, this clinic is releasing the names and details of patients simply at the request of an organisation which has no legal standing to make such requests (the MLB) then the clinic/doctor/other person responsible is liable to jail time and or large fines for breaching medical privacy laws (HIPAA for one).
An enterprising journalist de-anonymising a list of positive tests I could understand (it's happened before - remember Lance?) but what would the clinic/doctor gain from this? If it is a disgruntled employee, then he/she would be off to jail - not my idea of a well-thought-out revenge plot!
