Major League Baseball’s steroids storyline may be about to explode.
Kirk Radomski, a 37-year-old former employee of the New York Mets, pleaded guilty in federal court last Friday to charges he distributed performance-enhancing drugs to dozens of MLB players between 1995 and 2005, according to MLB.com. He will be sentenced in September, but could face up to 25 years in prison and fines of $500,000. “During my past employment in Major League Baseball, I developed contacts with Major League Baseball players throughout the country to whom I subsequently distributed anabolic steroids and athletic performance-enhancing drugs,” Radomski said in his plea agreement.
While Radomski did not provide names in his plea agreement, he has agreed to cooperate with federal investigators. That spells bad news for MLB. Because Radomski was never a player and is no longer associated with any of the teams, you can bet he will have few reservations about sharing his little black book of names. When he does, you can bet this entire drug scandal will be blown wide open.
