Larry Bigbie is a MAJOR RAT!

[blueberryale77]

The only mention of Brian Roberts is by Larry Bigbie. He claims that he introduced Roberts and Segui to Radomski and that Segui purchased something from Radomski after that meeting but Roberts was not present. He later says that in 2003 Roberts admitted to him that he had injected himself "a couple of times." He said that he did not suspect Roberts before that. NO mentions of Roberts other than this hearsay by Bigbie!

[The Wedge]

Just a point of fact, but it's not exactly hearsay if he's given his personal account.

[Hank Scorpio]

It be what it be.

Most of this report is hearsay.

[HeatherC12]

Oh that sucks! There's nothing else in there besides his comments?!

You know that Bigbie introducing BR and Segui to Radmomski isn't hearsay.

Bigbie didn't say he saw Roberts use steroids, he said Roberts told him he had used steroids.

It's on page 158 by the way.

Yeah Roberts isn't named through hearsay, he's directly named. That said, its not the strongest connection, and I can't imagine this affecting his trade value much if at all.

Bigbie didn't say he saw Roberts use steroids, he said Roberts told him he had used steroids.

Well, yeah, that he didn't actually see him use, that he only told him, that's hearsay. But the other stuff is direct accounts.

Huh? Hearsay as it most commonly is implicated is a personal account (i.e. he told me...)

Once or twice does not make Brian a steroid abuser IMO.

It is not hearsay that Roberts met Radomski. That doesn't prove he bought anything. Why didn't Radomski mention Roberts if he was squealing like a pig and Roberts had bought something from him? The only mentions of Roberts are by Bigbie and DO NOT provide any concrete evidence. That doesn't prove he didn't do anything, but it doesn't prove he did either.

Very interesting, and ironically enough I just saw Larry Bigbie the other night. We have some mutual friends, and we had a few drinks together while we were out.

I even brought up the Mitchell Report, but he didn't have much to say about it and changed the subjct quickly. I wonder if this is why...

[TinCup]

Hearsay:

1. Unverified information heard or received from another; rumor.

2. Law Evidence based on the reports of others rather than the personal knowledge of a witness and therefore generally not admissible as testimony.

And "the other stuff" is that Bigbie introduced him and Segui to Radomski and that Segui bought stuff from Radomski but Roberts was not present at that time.

Um, ya think?!

Honestly, it is highly irresponsible to see Roberts named in here with so little evidence (actually none). All my suspicions about Mitchell's unscrupulousness have been confirmed. They obviously tried to find who Roberts got stuff from and couldn't, or they would have included that information. Bigbie may very well have been telling the truth, but there is simply no proof of that.
