During an investigation by Major Baseball League, two security staff members of the Boston Red Sox were fired last year for their involvement in steroids.

The incident was reported by The Boston Globe. It was revealed that there was no evidence suggesting that the staff had sold performance enhancing drugs to players or their awareness about players making steroid use.

The disclosure about the firings came two days after The New York Times reported that David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez, who helped propel the Red Sox to win the World Series in 2004 and 2007, were among the roughly 100 players who tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug in 2003.

According to The Globe, Jared Remy said that a former aide to Ortiz discussed his own steroid use. A lawyer for the aide disputed that account and said that the aide had no involvement with steroids.

Cyr’s mother, Lindsey Cyr, attended the meeting with the baseball investigator, The Globe said. She told The Globe that the investigator was very interested in whether prominent members of the Red Sox had used steroids.

“That’s all he wanted to know,” said Lindsey Cyr, according to The Globe. “He asked Alex if Alex had ever given any to Manny Ramirez, and he said absolutely not.”

In an interview with CNN, Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, said that he was “sick” about the use of steroids in sports.
