Glenallen Hill played as an outfielder with seven teams in Major League Baseball

Giants, Seattle Mariners, New York Yankees, and Anaheim Angels. In 2007, he was the first
base coach for the Colorado Rockies.

Radomski recalled meeting Hill at a social function in 2000 when Hill was still
playing in Major League Baseball. Radomski said that Hill told him that he was getting human
growth hormone in San Francisco and was “not feeling anything.” Radomski thereafter sent Hill
a “sample bottle” of human growth hormone without charge and told him to try it. Hill tried it
and told Radomski that he “felt everything you told me I would feel.” Radomski told Hill the
human growth hormone Hill had been taking likely had spoiled. Hill purchased two kits of
human growth hormone from Radomski.
Radomski produced one check from Hill, dated March 14, 2001, in the amount of
$3,200, his typical price for two kits of human growth hormone. A copy of that check is
included in the Appendix and is shown below.
Hill’s name, with an address and telephone number, is listed in the address book seized from
Radomski’s residence by federal agents.
As a current club employee, Hill was required by the Commissioner to attend an
interview for this investigation. Hill’s recollection of his purchases of performance enhancing
substances differed from Radomski’s account. Hill said he was given Radomski’s contact
184
information from a player Hill identified only as “David.” Hill also said he met this player
during the 1998 season. Hill said that “David” admitted using steroids and was knowledgeable
about its effects and the different types of anabolic steroids.
In late 2000, Hill contacted “David” and was given Radomski’s contact
information. According to Hill, he had approximately five telephone conversations with
Radomski about the use and effects of steroids. Hill recalled that Radomski sold him Sustanon.
Hill believed he paid him by check in either late 2000 or early 2001. According to Hill, he never
used the anabolic steroids that he bought from Radomski.
When asked why he ordered and paid for steroids but did not use them, Hill said
he was suffering from “marital stress” at the time. According to Hill, this was the only reason
that he elected not to use the steroids he bought. Hill said the anabolic steroids unknowingly
remained in his possession until spring training 2007 when, during the course of unpacking from
a move, he discovered them. Hill insisted that this was the only time he purchased any
performance enhancing substance and that he has never used any performance enhancing
substance.
Hill said that, while he had between five and fifteen conversations during his
playing career with players about performance enhancing substances, he could not remember the
names of any of the players with whom he had discussed the subject. Hill said that “David” was
the only individual who ever admitted to him that he used performance enhancing substances.
With his personal lawyer present, Hill said his lawyers have told him that
disclosing the identities of players who used performance enhancing substances would harm his
career in Major League Baseball. Hill said his lawyers are the only persons who have told him
that “nam[ing] names” could harm his career prospects.
