Kirk Radomski's book, Bases Loaded, will hit bookshelves all across the country Tuesday, and inside it will spill all the details of every baseball player he has ever supplied steroids to during his time spent as the Mets' towel boy from 1986-95. Radomski, of course, was the main source of information in the Mitchell Report, and now he figures it's his turn to make some money off of all this to help pay off some of those lawyer fees.Still, while the vast majority of the book talks about baseball players and their steroid use, it turns out that Radomski was into other things besides steroids. Like that one time Dwight Gooden needed clean urine, and came to Radomski for help.
Convicted steroids dealer Kirk Radomski, the Long Island man who was one of the central witnesses in baseball's Mitchell Report, told ESPN's "Outside the Lines" Sunday that he twice took urine tests in place of Dwight Gooden when he was a clubhouse boy for the Mets.Gooden did test positive for cocaine three times in his career as a Met and was suspended for the entire 1995 season because of it, though Radomski doesn't specify when Doc asked him to take the tests for him. Gooden never came to Radomski for steroids, however, because the cocaine was more than enough to help him blow hitters away. Get it? Blow hitters away. Cocaine. I kill me.
"I took a drug test for him twice," Radomski said. "He came in one day and he came up to me and the pee guy was there, as we called him. says, 'Could you pee for me?' I said, 'Doc, what am I going to do? How are we going to do this?' So I said, 'Let me think about it.'"
Also, when reached for comment on Radomski's claims by ESPN, Doc responded with a text message that simply read "LOL."
