  • Steroid dealer to plead for probation

    Associated Press - February 8, 2008 11:03 AM ET

    SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A former clubhouse attendant who implicated dozens of major leaguers in the use of performance-enhancing drugs plans to ask a federal judge for leniency today. Kirk Radomski has already pleaded guilty to distributing steroids and laundering money.

    Radomski agreed to cooperate with government investigators and baseball officials after a federal raid on his house. The former New York Mets employee led investigators to Brian McNamee, the former Yankees strength coach who claimed he injected Roger Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone at least 16 times from 1998 to 2001. Clemens vehemently denies the allegations.

    In April, Radomski admitted selling speed, steroids and HGH to dozens of players from 1995 until December of 2005, when agents raided his Long Island home.

    He's hoping his cooperation will lead the judge to sentence him to probation rather than prison.

    Radomski is scheduled to testify before Congress next Wednesday, along with McNamee and Clemens.
