Eric Gagne

2007 teams: Texas Rangers, Boston Red Sox

Closer and three-time All-Star for the Los Angeles Dodgers who won NL Cy Young in 2003 after 55 saves. Signed with Milwaukee in December.

In the report: Although he is not sure when, Radomski recalled that Gagne's Dodgers teammate, Paul Lo Duca, called Radomski and told him that Gagne wanted to buy human growth hormone. Radomski said the only time he spoke to Gagne was when the closer asked him how to get air out of a syringe and that Lo Duca thereafter placed orders on Gagne's behalf. Radomski said that he mailed two shipments to Gagne, each consisting of two kits of human growth hormone. One was sent to Gagne's home in Florida. The other was sent to Dodger Stadium. When the Boston Red Sox considered acquiring Gagne after the 2006 season, general manager Theo Epstein emailed a scout to ask, "Have you done any digging on Gagne? I know the Dodgers think he was a steroid guy. Maybe so. What do you hear on his medical?'' The scout, Mark Delpiano, responded that "steroids IS the issue. Has had a checkered medical past throughout career including minor leagues. Lacks the poise and commitment to stay healthy, maintain body and re invent self.''

A five-time All-Star and the 2000 AL MVP, the first baseman has been hampered by injuries and batted .235 with 14 homers and 39 RBIs this year.

Jay Gibbons

2007 team: Baltimore Orioles

Batted .230 with six homers and 28 RBIs this year. It was the poorest season of his seven-year big league career, and it ended in mid-August because of shoulder surgery. The Los Angeles Times reported in October 2006 that the outfielder was among the blacked-out names in an affidavit by IRS Special Agent Jeff Novitzky claiming pitcher Jason Grimsley implicated him in drug use. In September, SI.com reported Gibbons received steroids and HGH from Signature Pharmacy from October 2003 and July 2005. On Dec. 6, Gibbons was suspended for the first 15 days of the 2008 season for violating baseball's drug policy. Gibbons chose not to contest the penalty, saying he was prescribed HGH. "I am deeply sorry for the mistakes that I have made,'' he said.

In the report: SI reported that Gibbons received six shipments of HGH (Genotropin), two shipments of testosterone and two shipments of HCG pursuant to prescriptions from South Beach Rejuvenation Center in Miami Beach, Fla., that were filled by Signature Pharmacy. The orders were shipped to Gibbons at his home in Arizona.

Troy Glaus

2007 team: Toronto Blue Jays

MVP of the 2002 World Series and a four-time All-Star, Glaus batted .262 with 20 home runs and 62 RBIs in 115 games this year. The third baseman's season was limited to 115 games because of foot and leg injuries, including a damaged nerve that was operated on in September. That same month, SI.com reported Glaus received steroids from Signature Pharmacy between September 2003 and May 2004. On Dec. 6, MLB said it found insufficient evidence to discipline Glaus.

In the report: Days before its article about Gibbons, SI reported Glaus purchased nandrolone and testosterone from the pharmacy through the New Hope Health Center, a California anti-aging clinic, using prescriptions written by Dr. Ramon Scruggs, a California physician who was suspended from practice as of March 2007 for issuing prescriptions over the internet.

Jason Grimsley

2007 team: Out of baseball

A journeyman who pitched in 552 games over 15 seasons, Grimsley admitted he used HGH, steroids and amphetamines, according to a May 2006 affidavit by IRS Special Agent Jeff Novitzky. Authorities tracked a package containing HGH to Grimsley's house that April 19. Grimsley, according to Novitzky, implicated other players in drug use. After his home was raided by federal agents in June 2006, Grimsley asked for Arizona to release him, and the team complied.

In the report: Radomski estimated he had engaged in at least seven or eight sales to Grimsley involving HGH, Deca-Durabolin and diet pills from 2000-03. Radomski produced 14 checks written by Grimsley from June 2, 2001 through July 29, 2005, totaling $35,400. Grimsley's name, with several addresses and telephone numbers, is listed in an address book seized by federal agents.

Jose Guillen

2007 team: Seattle Mariners

A veteran of 11 major league seasons, the 31-year-old batted .290 with 23 homers, 99 RBIs and 28 doubles for the Seattle Mariners this year. The San Francisco Chronicle reported in October 2007 that Guillen bought nearly $20,000 worth of steroids and HGH. Guillen was suspended Dec. 6 for the first 15 days of next season for violating MLB's drug agreement, and the players' association filed a grievance four days later to overturn the penalty. On the day he was suspended, Guillen agreed to a $36 million, three-year contract with the Kansas City Royals.

In the report: The Chronicle reported that Guillen purchased HGH, testosterone and other steroids through the Palm Beach Rejuvenation Center in multiple transactions over a three year period from 2002-04 and possibly also in 2005.

Jerry Hairston Jr.

2007 team: Texas Rangers

He is the son of Jerry Hairston, grandson of Sammy Hairston, brother of Scott Hairston and nephew of Johnny Hairston - all major leaguers. Currently a free agent, the utilityman batted .189 last season for Texas.

In the report: Mets clubhouse attendant Kirk Radomski said that he sold human growth hormone to Hairston on two or three occasions during 2003 and 2004 and had one check from Hairston.

Glenallen Hill

2007 team: first-base coach for Colorado Rockies

Hill was an outfielder with seven major league teams from 1989-2001, Toronto, Cleveland, the Chicago Cubs, San Francisco, Seattle Mariners, the New York Yankees and Anaheim Angels.

In the report:In 2000, Radomski said that Hill told him that he was getting human growth hormone in San Francisco and was "not feeling anything.'' Radomski thereafter sent Hill a "sample bottle'' of human growth hormone without charge and told him to try it. Hill tried it and told Radomski that he "felt everything you told me I would feel.'' Hill then purchased two kits of human growth hormone from Radomski.

As a current club employee, Hill was required to attend an interview with Mitchell, where his recollection differed from Radomski's account. Hill said he was given Radomski's contact information from a player Hill identified only as "David,'' whom he met during the 1998 season. Hill said that "David'' admitted using steroids and was knowledgeable about its effects and the different types of anabolic steroids.

In late 2000, Hill contacted "David'' and was given Radomski's contact information. According to Hill, he had approximately five telephone conversations with Radomski about the use and effects of steroids. Hill recalled that Radomski sold him Sustanon, but said he never used it.

When asked why he ordered and paid for steroids but did not use them, Hill said he was suffering from "marital stress'' at the time. According to Hill, this was the only reason that he elected not to use the steroids he bought and this was the only time he purchased any performance enhancing substance and that he has never used any performance enhancing substance.

Hill also said his lawyers told him that disclosing the identities of players who used performance enhancing substances would harm his career in the major leagues.

In the report: SI reported that Holmes had purchased HGH (somatropin) and testosterone from the Palm Beach Rejuvenation Center, which was shipped to Holmes's home in North Carolina. He reportedly admitted to reporters that he ordered HGH for shoulder pain but claimed that he never used it.
