Another PED Scandal
A former Mets clubhouse employee (very former, by the way) ran into the Feds today:
Today, the IRS agents, FBI and U.S. Attorneys office in California that pursued the BALCO case made a significant announcement. Kirk J. Radomski, a New York Mets clubhouse employee between 1985 and 1995, has pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in San Francisco to distribution of a controlled substance -- a schedule three anabolic steroid -- to "dozens of Major Leaguers on teams throughout the league." He also pleaded guilty to one count of money laundering. (Combined, these charges are punishable by a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison and $500,000 in fines.)
Earlier this spring, the steroid-related news pertained to the break-up of a distribution chain linking the Internet sites to anti-aging clinics and compound pharmacies. Now, the BALCO investigative team is back in the picture.
No names yet, so stay tuned. Radomski is said to be cooperating.

Again, in case it wasn't clear from the article, he was NOT a trainer for the Mets during the time period for which he's suspected of distributing steroids, NOR was he even employed by the Mets at that time.
Just sayin'
Besides, I watched the mets during the mid-90's. I WISH they had been on the juice back then ;)
To clarify, I mean the Washington Post article. David is as clear as a Sox-fan-still-bitter-from-1986 needs to be. ;)
I kid, I kid....
