Padres (part of 1 season), Detroit Tigers (2 seasons), and Minnesota Twins (2 seasons).

According to Radomski, White started buying performance enhancing substances

from him in 2000. White bought both human growth hormone and Deca-Durabolin. In our first

interview, before he had access to all the checks his banks were able to supply, Radomski

estimated he had engaged in “six to ten” transactions with White, some paid for with cash, others

paid by check. Subsequently, Radomski was able to produce seven checks that he deposited

drawn on White’s checking account. All are included in the Appendix. One is shown below.

Federal agents also seized from Radomski’s home a copy of a FedEx US Airbill

reflecting a delivery to “R. White” on a date in 2005 that is otherwise illegible. White’s name,

with an address and several telephone numbers, is listed in the address book seized by federal

agents from Radomski’s residence.

Radomski noted that White often overpaid Radomski for the performance

enhancing substances. Radomski either mailed the performance enhancing substances to White

or delivered them to him in 2002 when White lived in New York.

Radomski recalled teaching White “a lot about steroids and HGH” and “walking

him through the HGH injections for two hours on the phone one night.” White has had injury

problems during his career (including four trips to the disabled list) and told Radomski that he

needed performance enhancing substances to “stay on the field.”

In order to provide White with information about these allegations and to give

him an opportunity to respond, I asked him to meet with me; he declined.
