Alex Rodriguez aka A-Rod
Convicted steroid dealer Kirk Radomski is not surprised that Alex Rodriguez used steroids, believes the government has more evidence about Roger Clemens’ alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs and suggested the players’ current drug of choice is human growth hormone because “they’re not testing for that.”
In an interview with Evan Roberts and Kimberly Jones on WFAN yesterday to promote his book, Radomski said he was “not at all” surprised by Rodriguez’s admission of steroid use because “other players told me. I knew.” Radomski also said he did not believe that Rodriguez did not know what steroids he was taking. “The guys I know who played with him talked about him,” Radomski said. “He was a perfectionist … He’s very picky about everything. He likes to be in control. Why would he not be in control of this?”
recalled how he found a mailing receipt under his television in the summer for a package of drugs he sent to Clemens several years ago. He said he knew he had it and had been looking for it for quite some time before finding it, as well as “8 or 10″ receipts for other players.
Regarding whether Clemens committed perjury when he denied taking performance-enhancing drugs before Congress last year, Radomski said, “There’s so much more evidence that hasn’t been leaked out. Look at Miguel Tejada. He didn’t even fight it. They didn’t have much on him. Roger, they got so much, they can go after him for so many perjuries. He just hung himself. It’s all about ego.”
