Radomski met Stanton around 2001 while he was pitching for the Yankees.
Radomski recalled making two sales of human growth hormone to Stanton. The first occurred in
2003, during Stanton’s first season with the Mets. Early in that season, Radomski mailed two
kits of human growth hormone to Stanton at his residence. Stanton paid Radomski $3,200 by
money order.
Radomski stated that he dropped off one kit of human growth hormone at
Stanton’s locker in the Mets clubhouse later in the 2003 season. Stanton paid $1,600 in cash for
that order. Radomski and Stanton spoke on the telephone two or three times in the course of
these sales.
In order to provide Stanton with information about these allegations and to give
him an opportunity to respond, I asked him to meet with me; he declined.
