According to Justice and many other reports he was only shown to have a conversation with a person associated with a club. He was not the only one implicated like that but I do not remember those individuals because they were marginal players.

Also the report implicated people who wrote checks to clubhouse attendance which is a common practice in MLB because player paid them to run all kinds of errands for the players. For example they might have them run to the store or have their car fixed or do any number of things because the players are usually busy at the ball park. I am sure many of these guys are guilty, but MLB was having rumblings over steroids just like football did back in the 80s when Canseco and McGuire were on the A's and I did not see the ground swell back then for drug testing. The NFL started drug testing soon after Lyle Alzado (sp??) was going around claiming he was dying because of long time steroid use. And I am sure there were many more than 1% of players using as well.

Peace

I witness two young men grow substantially bigger in high school (1980-82). Both young men went on to play small time college football. Reportedly, one later became a "body guard/bouncer" and was gunned down in Atlanta by one of those Mac-10s/oizies (Sp?) before their ban and 15 round ammo clips were reduced to 10. Reportedly, gang execution. Funny nothing has changed very seriously about the death of young black men at the hands of young black men. But a few F&^k*)G pitt bulls die at the hands of a black man and America is in an uproar!

1985 to 2005, MLB did nothing about steroids. The leading cause of death for black teenagers wasn't steroids. I predict it will continue for at least another 5 years until folks in the NFL, NBA, and MLB finally bring attention to the minority genocide taking place. Will see if the recent death of a football star will have any impact.
