Roger Clemens Linked to Convicted Steroids Dealer

Former Mets Clubhouse Attendant Finds Shipping Slips Implicating Clemens in Drug Shipment

Roger Clemens' troubles linked to his alleged use of illegal, performance-enhancing drugs and his allegedly having committed perjury before Congress are about to get worse. According to the Associated Press, Kirk Radomski, a convicted peddler of steroids dealer, reportedly has found shipping receipts that detail his having mailed human growth hormone to Clemens' house.

Kirk Radomski once was employed a clubhouse attendant for the New York Mets. He pleaded guilty to money-laundering and illegal distribution of amphetamines, anabolic steroids, Clenbuterol, human growth hormone (HGH) and other drugs to baseball players. Facing up to 25 years in prison, Radomski received a sentence of five years' probation and an $18,575 fine. He cooperated with former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell's investigation into the use of illegal, performance-enhancing drugs in baseball. His relevations, as well as those of Roger Clemens' former trainer Brian McNamee, were critical to the investigation. Clemens was outed as being part of Major League Baseball's doping scandal by the Mitchell Report.

Roger Clemens has filed a defamation law suit against his former trainer, Brian McNamee, after McNamee revealed to Major League Baseball investigators that he had supplied the pitcher with illegal, performance enhancing drugs and helped him administer them. The two gave contradictory accounts to the House Government Committee on Oversight and Government Operations, which was investigating the use of steroids and other illegal, performance-enhancing drugs by baseball.
