(Update, the NY Times is reporting Grimsley named Sammy Sosa as a participant in a discussion of amphetamine testing; frankly pretty unimpressive)(Another update here) (The WaPo incorrectly equates Palmeiro with steroids from Grimsley)
Chalk up some more names on the MLB 'Juice' list. The affidavit sworn out by Jason Grimsley over a year ago went public today (AOL News).
Steroid users Grimsley named include Jose Canseco, Lenny Dykstra, Glenallen Hill, and Geronimo Berroa. The Juiced HGH users -- according to Grimsley -- grew to Chuck Knoblauch, David Segui, and Allen Watson. Grimsley says Raffy Palmeiro and Pete Incaviglia also chewed on greenies (amphetamines).
The Grimsley affidavit now appears less interesting as most of those players made the Mitchell role-call.
However, one wonders why the Los Angeles Times incorrectly named Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte, Miguel Tejada, Brian Roberts and Jay Gibbons in 2006 as making the Grimsley docket? The LA Times list carried the correct names but in the wrong context. So who else is out there with inside information?
Jose Canseco, Lenny Dykstra, Glenallen Hill and Geronimo Berroa were accused of using steroids by former major league pitcher Jason Grimsley in a federal agent's affidavit unsealed Thursday.
Grimsley also accused Chuck Knoblauch of using human growth hormone; David Segui and Allen Watson of using performance-enhancing drugs; and Rafael Palmeiro and Pete Incaviglia of taking amphetamines, according to IRS Special Agent Jeff Novitzky's sworn statement.
All but Incaviglia, Berroa and Watson were mentioned last week in the Mitchell Report on doping in baseball.
Federal prosecutors on Thursday unsealed a May 2006 affidavit by Novitzky used to obtain a search warrant for Grimsley's home in Scottsdale, Ariz.
