QUINCY, MA (AP) -- Bill Wysocki testified to a grand jury that he used a clear substance and a cream given to him by former teammate Rich Brill who was indicted in a steroid-distribution ring, but said he didn't know they were steroids, the Patriot Ledger reported Friday.
Wysocki told a U.S. grand jury that he used undetectable steroids known as "the cream" and "the clear," which he received from Brill during the 2000 season. According to Wysocki, Brill told him the substances were the nutritional supplement flaxseed oil and a pain-relieving balm for the player's arthritis.
Wysockis' former teammates Rob Cinquegrano, Mark Taylor and Red Ferrand have admitted using performance-enhancing drugs provided by Brill. All the players testified because they were offered immunity as long as they told the truth to the grand jury. But prosecutors warned the players, including Wysocki, that they would be charged with perjury if they were discovered lying under oath.
