Joannlol Todd. I thought about that one too. I think players may write checks to clubhouse guys pretty routinely for various things.
I read that at least one player was confronted by the commission with a check they got from a clubhouse guy that the player had written, and demanded to know what the check was for. The player said he didn't have the first damn idea what it was for - could have been McDonald's, could have been dues, could have been who the hell knows what, but all he knew was that it wasn't for steroids. I think this particular players ended up not being named in the report, and got the impression that checks between players and clubhouse guys aren't at all uncommon.
Wish I remembered who it was or where I read it - it was only yesterday. But if it was more than 20 minutes ago and is not related to the Sales and Negotiable Instruments exam I have tomorrow, then it doesn't have a spot in my brain right now!
Still though ... writing a check for steroids? What - they don't have ATM's in clubhouses?? They will now, I bet!
