Paul Lo Duca could face disciplinary action by Major League Baseball because the documentation in the Mitchell Report included checks written just three years ago, writes Adam Rubin in the New York Daily News.
Among the evidence of steroid use by the former Mets catcher were internal notes of an October 2003 discussion among Dodgers officials that pointed to him getting off steroids leading to a drop off in his production. Lo Duca went from 25 homers in 2001 to seven in 2003. The internal memo read “Got off steroids. … Took away a lot of hard line drives. … If you do trade him, will get back on the stuff and try to show you he can have a good year.”
Lo Duca was traded to the Marlins on July 30, 2004. One of the checks to Radomski is dated seven days later.
There are numerous personal notes between Randomski and Lo Duca, one of them is even written on Dodgers stationary and reads
