    Mets Clubhouse Attendant may "blow lid off" Steriods in Baseball<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Radomski, the Mets clubhouse attendant from 1985 to '95 whose name came to light last month when he 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." Documents indicate that he had numerous major league players as steroid-buying clients and a partial paper trail through bank and phone records. And according to an acquaintance he may be "ready to sing'' to baseball's Mitchell Commission in a case that could send Radomski to prison for up to 25 years. He is due to be sentenced in the case on Sept. 7.</div><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Documents indicate that dozens of players are connected to the case, although none have been made public yet. Verizon records of Radomski's mobile phone, according to the search warrant affidavit, contain "some numbers belonging to current and former MLB players have been already identified." The affidavit also said that investigators found 23 deposits of checks written by "MLB associated individuals" into Radomski's bank account between May 2003 and March 2005 for a total of $33,935</div><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>While Radomski's employment with the Mets ended in the mid-'90s, court documents indicate that's when he got into steroid sales and that business picked up after 2003, when BALCO emerged as the feds' baseball steroid target.Radomski's credibility will, of course, be an issue. While almost everyone interviewed for this story described him as a "nice guy," some said he could also be a little bit of a blowhard. Some recalled fanciful tales of farfetched money-making schemes and of training pro athletes, although one insisted that he believes Radomski was only "training fat people" in a gym in upscale Quogue, a Hamptons enclave frequented by Wall Street types. "He's a used-car salesman," one person said. "He's always got a story to tell."</div>It's a huge article, so I'm not going to post the whole thing, but in exchange for a reduction in sentencing, he's likely to rat on all the dirty Mets from that time period, as well as some players from other ball clubs and some current players. He can't start naming names publically until after he gives his testimony to Sen. George Mitchell's committee.

    Considering he admits he didn't begin selling steroids until After he left the Mets (You really think some 15 year old batboy would be privy to connections for illegal steroids? :LMAO: ). I doubt it's going to be a list of 'Dirty Mets' as you imply and more of a list of athletes in general.
