Convicted steroid/human growth hormone dealer, Kirk Radomski, has provided government investigators with a receipt for a shipment sent to Roger Clemens’ Houston home in 2002 or 2003. Radomski said the package contained two kits of human growth hormone.
"The investigators knew from day one that I sent a package to Clemens' house. They knew before the Mitchell report was released and before Brian went before Congress. So this is nothing new to them.”
"I just couldn't find the receipt. And just by [accident] this weekend, I moved my TV and whatnot and I found the package, an envelope, and it had [Clemens'] receipt and about seven or eight other receipts."
Radomski said he immediately called steroid investigator Jeff Novitzky who was in New York at the time. The following day Novitzky and assistant U.S. Attorney from San Francisco, Matthew Parrella visited Radomski and picked up the evidence.
"They were happy that I found it, because they thought they would never find it," Radomski said. "I'd told them, 'I know that it was in my house.' I said, 'You guys sure you didn't take it [in the original raid]?' It just happened to turn up."
The timeline roughly corresponds to when Brian McNamee injected Clemens’ wife, Debbie, prior to the Clemens’ photo shoot for Sports Illustrated. Clemens stated before congress that he was unaware of his wife’s injection until after it had happened. The shipment, presumably signed for by a Clemens, contradicts said testimony.
"It was addressed to Clemens as a hold for Brian McNamee. Brian knows what he did with it. They signed for it, because all my packages you always had to sign for. Brian never signed for the package. The package got there before Brian got down there."
Radomski claims to have sent at least one other shipment to Clemens though he doesn’t have the receipt. He also said he was prepared to provide an affidavit in support of Clemens’ former trainer, McNamee, in the defamation suit filed by Clemens.
The evidence should aid McNamee’s defense in the defamation suit as well as the government’s investigation as to whether Clemens committed perjury.
