Jared Remy, Red Sox Security Staffer Fire For Steroids

The security staffers said they were dismissed after what they termed a cursory inquiry by Major League Baseball and very limited questioning by the team — even though one of the guards said he swapped advice about steroids with David Ortiz’s close friend and personal assistant.

Both men said they told investigators they had no direct knowledge of steroid use by Red Sox players, including Manny Ramírez or Ortiz, both of whom were identified in a New York Times report last week as having tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in 2003.
