Steroids and Human Growth Hormone ]
Section[ Chuck Knoblauch ]
Chuck Knoblauch
Chuck Knoblauch played as an infielder for three teams in Major League Baseball
from 1991 to 2002, the Minnesota Twins (7 seasons), New York Yankees (4 seasons), and
Kansas City Royals (1 season). He was the 1991 American League Rookie of the Year and
played on four All-Star teams.
Knoblauch played for the Yankees during 2000 and 2001, the two years when
McNamee served as the Yankees’ assistant strength coach. McNamee provided personal
training services to Knoblauch.
McNamee said that he acquired human growth hormone from Radomski for
Knoblauch in 2001. Beginning during spring training and continuing through the early portion
of the season, McNamee injected Knoblauch at least seven to nine times with human growth
hormone.
Knoblauch paid Radomski through Jason Grimsley and, once or twice, through
McNamee. (Radomski produced two checks from Grimsley in 2001 that totaled $5,550.)
According to Radomski, McNamee suggested to him that McNamee was obtaining human
growth hormone on Knoblauch’s behalf. According to McNamee, on occasion Knoblauch also
procured his own supply of human growth hormone. McNamee believed that Knoblauch’s other
source was Jason Grimsley.
In order to provide Knoblauch with information about these allegations and to
give him an opportunity to respond, I asked him to meet with me; he did not respond to my
request.
