A Long Island man is at the center of a mushrooming probe into the use of
steroids by major league ballplayers, according to court documents.
Kirk Radomski, of 50 Manorville Way, Manorville, who says he worked at one
time for the New York Mets, is suspected of supplying a number of
professional players, including "at least one MLB player who was publicly
identified as being connected to" the BALCO Laboratory investigation in San
Francisco, according to a search warrant filed in the U.S. District Court in
Central Islip. He was expected to be indicted in San Francisco, possibly as
early as today, sources said.
The names of the publicly identified player and other other players said
to have been suspected of obtaining steroids from Radomski were blacked out
in the search warrant filed in court. BALCO was at the heart of the past
investigation in steroid use by major league ball players.
A source working with federal agent on the Radomski investigation is
paraphrased in the warrant as having said that Radomski is "a major drug
source in professional baseball who took over after the BALCO Laboratories
individuals were taken down."
Investigators found more than 20 occasions in which otherwise unidentified
major league players issued checks to Radomski between 2003 and 2005 for
amounts between $200 to $3,500.
A search of Radomski's phone records, which is still ongoing according to
the search warrant, shows "some numbers belonging to current and former MLB
ballplayers."
Among the drugs that Radomski sold to an informant, working for the FBI and
the IRS, as part of a sting operation were: Sustanon and Deca-Durabolin,
according to the search warrant. Sustanon contains four different types of
the steroidal male hormone testosterone; Deca-Durabolin is a form of
nandrolone, an anabolic steroid, according to the search warrant.
