SAN FRANCISCO -- A former employee of the New York Mets has pleaded guilty to distributing steroids and human growth hormone to dozens of major league players between 1995 and 2005, several media outlets are reporting.

Kirk J. Radomski, a personal trainer who said he worked for the Mets from 1985-95, agreed to cooperate with the group led by former Sen. George Mitchell that Major League Baseball appointed to investigate drug use in baseball, as part of a plea deal accepted at the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California Friday by Judge Susan Illston.

 

Parrella said Radomski was a batboy, clubhouse assistant and equipment manager for the Mets.

 

No Major League Baseball players were identified in the court filings associated with the case, but names and paragraphs of text were redacted from the federal search warrant affadavit filed in December 2005.

 

The affadavit listed 23 checks worth more than $30,000 that federal investigators alleged were deposited by individuals associated with Major League Baseball into Radomski's personal bank account between May 2003, and March 2005.
