MLB: Radomski at court house of Clemens grand jury

By HOWARD FENDRICH
AP Sports Writer

WASHINGTON — Convicted steroids dealer Kirk Radomski appeared today at the federal court house in Washington where a grand jury is being asked to determine whether Roger Clemens should be indicted on charges of lying to Congress.

A former New York Mets' clubhouse attendant, Radomski was sentenced to five years' probation after pleaded guilty to distributing steroids and laundering money. He left the grand-jury area around 12:30 p.m.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Daniel P. Butler would not comment on the case.

Radomski led investigators to Clemens' former personal trainer, Brian McNamee, who told federal agents and baseball investigator George Mitchell that he injected Clemens more than a dozen times with steroids and HGH from 1998-01.

Clemens repeatedly has denied using illegal performance-enhancing drugs.
