VIII. Information Obtained Regarding Other Players’ Possession or Use of Steroids and Human Growth Hormone
A. Background
On December 14, 2005, federal law enforcement agents executed a search warrant
at the home of Kirk Radomski, a personal trainer and former employee of the New York Mets
who was suspected of selling anabolic steroids and human growth hormone to professional
baseball players.360 During the search, agents seized documents relating to Radomski’s
distribution of performance enhancing substances, primarily to Major League Baseball players,
including Radomski’s address book and receipts documenting the shipment of packages to
players.361
Radomski then began cooperating with the United States Attorney’s Office for the
Northern District of California, and that cooperation continues to this day. After he began
cooperating, Radomski obtained and produced many other documents, among them copies of
cancelled checks, money orders, other bank records, and telephone records.
