Over the weekend, it emerged that two Red Sox security staffers were fired for their use of steroids. Boston canned Nicholas Alex Cyr and Jared Remy, son of former Red Sox broadcaster Jerry Remy, after an initial suspension. The probe began when cops found ‘roids (Anadrol) in Cyr’s car. They were actually fired last September. MLB also looked into the incident and specifically asked the men if they supplied Red Sox players with PEDs. Both men denied providing any players with the drugs. This isn’t Remy’s first run in with the law. Here’s a gem from 2005 (thanks to a tip from cameronfrye):

Jared Remy, 27, was arrested Monday at his father’s home in Weston and charged with assault and battery and resisting arrest. Police said Jerry Remy wasn’t home at the time.

Police in Waltham, where Jared Remy lives, said he grabbed his girlfriend by the hair, threw her to the ground, threw a cell phone at her and kicked her in the back, stomach and face. He also allegedly punched her in the eye and hit her in the stomach.

Clearly, these were two classy dudes on John Henry’s payroll. The picture of the two stooges is below. Cyr looks like a weirdo and Remy looks like somebody who might punch, kick, or throw a woman.

Major League Baseball opened an investigation into performance-enhancing drugs inside the Red Sox clubhouse at the height of last year’s pennant race after two members of the team’s security staff were implicated in steroid use.
Both men were fired in a case that speaks to both Major League Baseball’s new intolerance for steroids and its inconclusive efforts to investigate suspicious cases.

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 says 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 named in a New York Times report last week as having tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in 2003.

But, in interviews with the Globe, both revealed clubhouse details that could have fueled a more zealous inquiry. And the investigation did not even resolve the basic question of where the steroids the security staffer was caught with came from.
