BSN'S JACKASS OF THE WEEK!
|
We've been hearing about steroids in baseball at nauseam over the past several
years. Well, that story just got much bigger this week, when our winner of the
BSN JACKASS OF THE WEEK award popped into the mix. The winner is former
New York Mets clubhouse worker turned MLB steroid distributor Kirk Radomski.
Radomski, who worked in the Mets clubhouse from 1985-1995 was busted last
week as running possibly one of the largest sports steroids rings ever.
According to reports, he distributed steroids and Human Growth Hormones to
"dozens of Major Leaguers on teams throughout the league." Not good, not
good at all. This is very bad for the league, for the players involved and of
course for Radomski who finds himself looking at 25 years in the slammer where
he'll have to change his name from Kirk to Carol and share a bunk with a guy
named Tank. Was it worth it Kirk, er, I mean Carol? Radomski, now having been
busted has agreed to cooperate with the ongoing steroid investigation inside of
MLB and apparently he can really name some names. The implications of those
names when they surface could really be monumental. So far the largest name
we've seen surface through MLB's testing has been Rafael Palmeiro. This will
shatter that moment in time 100 times over. The feds have found records of
personal checks written by players and deposited in Radmoski's account, cell
phone numbers and records of who bought what for how much. Way to cover
your tracks Radomski, real smart. Carol recently released the following
statement on the subject: "Beginning in approximately 1995 and continuing
through until December 14, 2005, when a search warrant was executed at my
residence, I distributed anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing
drugs, including Human Growth Hormone and Clenbuterol, as well as
amphetamines, to dozens of current and former Major League Baseball players
(on teams spread throughout Major League Baseball) and associates. I deposited
the payments for those anabolic steroids into my personal bank account and I
then used the proceeds to finance my residence, which was the base of
operation, warehouse, and communications center for my anabolic
steroid-dealing business."
Ok, first of all, the fact that you dabbled in an illegal drug ring makes you a
jackass enough, but to continue to distribute AFTER BALCO was busted makes
you a hard core dumb ass too! Did you really think they wouldn't catch you? You
thought you'd get away with it? Please, you claim to be a "body builder", you
have worked inside of baseball and most of all, YOU KEPT RECORDS OF
EVERYTHING DUMMY! Kirk Radomski, Mets clubhouse worker turned steroid
master has quite easily earned this weeks' BSN JACKASS OF THE WEEK!
