Brian Cashman Knew About Yankee Steroid Use, Didn't Care, Indicted Ex-Mistress Claims

By Graham Rayman

In a kind of tabloid harmonic convergence, a court document filed yesterday contains new allegations about Yankees general manager Brian Cashman from his former mistress, who is accused of stalking him and trying to extort money from him.

Louise Meanwell is said to have told her lawyer Stephen Turano that Cashman told her he was aware of steroid use in the Yankees clubhouse, but didn't care as long as it didn't harm the team's reputation, the document says.

Meanwell also told Turano that Cashman told her he intentionally misled investigators during the investigation into pitcher Roger Clemons's steroid use, the document alleges.

Meanwell is facing criminal charges for cyber-stalking and trying to extort $21,000 from Cashman. She has denied the charges. She claims she had a 10-month affair with Cashman.

1. $21,000 seems an odd

amount to extort................ but that's not the real point of your post.
I'd be inclined to believe he didn't care. They (all management of all teams) had to know something was up when we had that run of McGuire, Sosa and Bonds hitting homers like they were playing in little league parks. But it filled the seats and baseball no longer has a real commissioner..............

2. No that is a catch on your part. $21,000 is an odd number.

But yes they were looking at money when they saw the steroids.
