In a new steroids bombshell, a former New York Mets clubhouse employee has admitted distributing various performance-enhancing drugs to "dozens of current and former Major League Baseball players." Kirk Radomski, 37, pleaded guilty today to distributing anabolic steroids and laundering the proceeds of the illicit business, which operated from his New York home. According to a plea agreement filed in U.S. District Court in San Jose, California, Radomski sold ballplayers anabolic steroids, Human Growth Hormone, and amphetamines from 1995 to December 2005, when his home was raided by federal agents. In the plea agreement, a copy of which you'll find below, Radomski stated that during his prior clubhouse employment he developed "contacts with Major League Baseball players throughout the country to whom I subsequently distributed anabolic steroids and athletic performance-enhancing drugs."

Former Mets Employee Admits Selling Steroids; HGH
This isn't a good thing for Major League Baseball players, and investigators are sure to lean hard to get names of those companies that provided the drugs as well as those players who purchased and used them. You can bet he's going to be naming names, perhaps hoping to get a better deal with prosecutors, and I wouldn't be surprised if some local players were implicated - whether they're Yankees or Mets, though much of his business was done over the phone.
