The Mitchell Report...

This is what it has to say about a few of the Twins players mentioned

in the report:

Rondell White

Rondell White is an outfielder who has played for seven teams in

Major League Baseball from 1993 to the present, the Montreal Expos

(8 seasons), Chicago Cubs (parts of 2 seasons), New York Yankees (1

season), Kansas City Royals (part of 1 season), San Diego 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.

Chuck Knoblauch

Chuck Knoblauch played as an infielder for three teams in Major

League Baseball from 1991 to 2002, the Minnesota Twins (7 seasons),

New York Yankees (4 seasons), and Kansas City Royals (1 season). he

was the 1991 American League Rookie of the Year and played on four

All-Star teams. Knoblauch played with the Yankees during 2000 and

2001, the two years when McNamee served as the Yankees' assistant

strength coach. McNamee provided personal training services to

Knoblauch. McNamee said that he acquired human growth hormone from

Radomski for Knoblauch in 2001. Beginning during spring training

and continuing through the early portion of the season, McNamee

injected Knoblauch at least seven to nine times with human growth

hormone. Knoblauch payed Radomski through Jason Grimsley and, once

or twice, through McNamee. (Radomski produced two checks from

Grimsley in 2001 that totaled $5,550.) According to Radomski,

McNamee suggested to him that McNamee was obtaining human growth

hormone on Knoblauch's behalf. According to McNamee, on occasion

Knoblauch also produced his own supply of human growth hormone.

McNamee believed that Knoblauch's other source was Jason Grimsley.

In order to provide Knoblauch with information about these

allegations and to give him an opportunity to respond, I asked him

to meet with me; he did not respond to my request.

Denny Neagle

Denny Neagle pitched for six teams in Major League Baseball between

1991 and 2003, the Minesota Twins (1 season), Pittsburgh Pirates (5

seasons), Atlanta Braves (3 seasons), Cincinnati Reds (2 seasons),

New York Yankees (part of 1 season), and Colorado Rockies (3

seasons). He has played on two All-Star teams. Radomski said he met

Neagle at a club in New York City in 2000 when Neagle played for

the Yankees. After they met, Neagle called Radomski "looking for

HGH." Neagle seemed familiar with human growth hormone. Radomski

said that from 2000 to 2004 he engaged in five or six transactions

with Neagle involving human growth hormone and anoabolic steroids.

Neagle always paid by check. At one point, Neagle had another major

league player send a check to Radomski because that player owed

Neagle money. Radomski stated that he never sold human growth

hormone or steroids to the other player. In addition to the other

player's check, Radomski produced copies of eight checks from or on

behalf of Neagle. All are included in the Appendix. One is shown

below. Radomski also produced a a check from Dan Mcginn, Baseball

Account, Coors Field, 2001 Blake St., Denver, Colorado 80205, in

the amount of $1,600. The memo line on the check says "Neagle." At

the time, McGinn was a clubhouse attendant with the Colorado

Rockies. Radomski said that the check was in payment fro

performance enhancing substances purchased from him by Neagle.

McGinn is no longer employed by the Rockies and did not respond to

our requests for an interview. Neagle's name, wih the address "Col.

Rockies Clubhouse" and several telephone numbers, is listed in the

address book that was seized from Radomski's home by federal

agents. In order to provide Neagle with information about these

allegations and to give him an opportunity to respond, I asked him

to meet with me. He did not respond to my request.

Daniel Naulty

Daniel Naulty pitched for two teams in Major League Baseball from

1996 to 1999, the Minnesota Twins and the New York Yankees. We

contracted Naulty as part of our effort to interview former

players. During his telephone interivew, Naulty admitted to using

steroids, on and off, for seven years, and human growth hormone for

one year. Naulty used performance enhancing substances while

playing in both Major League Baseball and in the minor leagues.

Naulty started using steroids as a minor league player, before the

1993 season, because he needed to put on weight. Naulty learned

about steroids from other players. After starting his steroid

regimen Naulty reported to spring trainging for the 1993 season

approximately 20 pounds heavier and throwing five miles per hour

harder than he did the year before. Naulty said that he went "from

an A-ball pitcher to a major league prospect in a matter of two

years." Naulty purchased steroids and human growth hormone through

illegal dealers. Nautly was aware of a least four gyms in Orange

Country, California, where he could obtain steroids. Nautly

believes that his use of steroids made him injury prone. He

suffered a number of injuries, including a torn triceps muscle, a

torn groin muscle and numbness in an arm from the loss of

circulation, that he attributes to his use of steroids. Naulty said

that he had stopped using steroids by the time he played for the

Yankees in 1999. Naulty lost muscle mass and arm strength once he

stopped using steoids. Naulty repeatedly expressed remorse for

using steroids during the course of his intrview. He told us that

"if I could give back a little bit of something good then I would

like to."

Chad Allen

Chad Allen is an outfielder who played with four teams in Major

League Baseball between 1999 and 2005, the Minnesota Twins,

Cleveland Indians, Florida Marlins, and Texas Rangers. Since then,

he has played in Japan. Radomski said that Chris Donnels referred

Allen to him. Radomski believed he made between three and five

sales to Allen involving Winstrol, testosterone, and

Deca-Durabolin. According to Radomski, Allen could not afford human

growth hormone. Allen met with my investigators after his return

from Japan, where he played baseball this past season. Allen has

been cooperating with federal authorities in connnection with their

investigations of illegal distribution of performance enhancing

substances. As part of his cooperation and at the request of

federal law enforcement authorities, Allen agreed to be interviewed

by members of my investigative staff. Federal law enforcement

agenst were present at his interview with us and advised him that

any false statements made in their presence during the interview

could be considered a violation of federal law. Allen admitted to

have purchased anabolic steroids from Radomski but he said he did

so only during the 2003 off-season. In 2001, Allen tore the

anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee while playing for the

Minnesota Twins. After the injury and subsequent knee surgery,

Allen's right leg was weakened and atrophied. In the summer of

2003, Allen discussed this problem with Chris Donnels, who was a

teammate at Albuquerque. Donnels described the benefits of using

Winstrol and mentioned Kirk Radomski. Allen called Radomski at a

phone number provided by Donnels. When Allen called Radomski and

described his knee problem, Radomski told him that Winstrol was the

best drug for him to take because it would strengthen joints and

build up muscles and ligaments in his leg. Allen recalled obtaining

the Winstrol in October after the season was over; he was adamant

that he never took steroids during the season. According to Allen,

the 2003 off-season was the only occasion when he used steroids.

Allen explained that he did not want his teammates to know that he

used steroids, and he did not want to us anything during the season

because he "did not want to be on a different playing field from

his teammates." He also was concerned about testing positive.

Radomski mailed a on or two-month supply of Winstrol to Allen at

his home in Texas. Allen paid Radomski approximately $400 by check.

Allen confirmed that the address and phone number for him in

Radomski's address book were correct. Radomski warned him to stop

using the steroids by January 15 to avoid testing positive, and

Allen recalled stopping his use well before that date. Allen said

that the Winstrol, together with diligent exercise, had a noticable

effect on him. However, the effects of the Winstrol did not last

long. He began to see a sbt decline in his leg strength about two

months after he stopped using it. Radomski produced one check from

Allen payable to "Kirk Radinski" in the amount of $140, dated

February 1, 2004. A copy is included in the Appendix and is shown

below. Radomski said that this check was payment for ten vials of

steroids. According to Allen, the $140 check was not for steroids

but instead was for an anti-estrogen to counteract some of the

negative side effects he expereinced from using Winstrol. Allen

said he experienced a surge in female hormones that resulted in the

development of cysts in his chest. Radomski sent him a drug called

Femara to counteract that effect.

I skimmed through the report, and I dug up these names. (I admit, that

I did probably forget a few). Let me know if there's anyone not on the

list.
