David Cone On Yankee ‘Roid Heads:
via the book ‘The Yankee Years”
David Cone said the players had a good idea about who was juicing:
…players often joked about teammates who worked out with (Brian McNamee) when he served as an assistant strength coach for the Yankees in 2000-2001, especially players who grew dramatically stronger, bigger and leaner in a short period of time. “He’s on Mac’s program,” was the joke, or “He’s on The Program.”
“They were on his program, guys like Roger (Clemens), Andy (Pettitte) and maybe (Mike) Stanton,”… Joe Torre and Cone saw McNamee as an interloper in the locker room who got a job with the Yankees without paying his dues because of his relationship with Clemens…
“I didn’t like McNamee,” Cone said in the book. “Not that he was a bad guy. I never thought he was properly vetted.”
