(Newser) – A former assistant to the Mets who sold steroids to "dozens" of major league baseball players has provided investigators with a list of users, including some shocking names, reports SI.com.

Kirk Radomski sold steroids to current and former major leaguers between 1995 and 2005 after working as a Mets clubhouse assistant and bat boy, according to authorities. He faces up to 25 years in prison. His sentencing next month will be an indication of just how much information he's providing. "He's ready to sing," said an associate.
