Chapter[ VIII. Information Obtained Regarding Other Players’ Possession or Use of
Steroids and Human Growth Hormone ]
Section[ Jim Parque ]
Jim Parque
Jim Parque pitched in Major League Baseball for the Chicago White Sox and
Tampa Bay Devil Rays from 1998 through 2003. In 2004, he played for Arizona’s class AAA
affiliate. He announced his retirement at the end of that season because of shoulder injuries, but
in 2007 he played for Seattle’s class AAA affiliate.
Radomski did not recall who referred Parque to him but said that he made two
sales of human growth hormone to him. Radomski said that during the 2003 off-season Parque
sent Radomski a bottle of Winstrol to “check out.” Radomski determined it was “no good” and
discarded it.
Radomski produced two checks from Parque. The first was dated October 18,
2003 in the amount of $3,200; the second was dated December 6, 2003 in the amount of $1,600.
Both are included in the Appendix. One is shown below.

Parque’s name, with an address and two telephone numbers, is listed in the
address book seized from Radomski’s residence by federal agents.
In order to provide Parque with information about these allegations and to give
him an opportunity to respond, I asked him to meet with me. He did not respond.
