Segui's Latest Confession

David Segui once again gets ahead of the story, this time admitting steroid use. He used Kirk Radomski as his conduit for drugs:

Segui said he met Radomski after the Orioles traded him to the Mets in 1994; they became close friends and still talk by phone several times a week -- mainly about fishing and family.

A bodybuilder and personal trainer, Radomski initially assisted Segui with nutrition and weightlifting. Eventually, Segui said, he paid Radomski for various products, from legal supplements and workout gear to anabolic steroids and clenbuterol, an asthma drug that supposedly melts body fat and is on baseball's banned substances list. Segui also loaned Radomski money on occasion.

"It was stuff you do for a friend," he said. "I always had a feeling -- I knew when more and more guys were going through him -- that there is probably going to come the day when he is going to get caught."

But it wasn't as if Radomski was trying to operate a drug business, Segui said.

"If I needed to get something, anything, I'd go to him. He was someone you trusted," Segui said. "That's how he developed ... a clientele list."

Because Segui often paid Radomski with personal checks, he said he inadvertently created a paper trail. But Segui told his buddy not to cover for him.

Segui would not talk to Mitchell because he didn't it to appear that he gave up the names of other ballplayers. Segui's HGH confession is here, with my thoughts on David's arms.
