Jerry Hairston Jr.

Last updated

According to a report by Sports Illustrated, Hairston received genotropin, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and clomiphene citrate in 2004. One of Hairston's prescriptions was written by "A. Almarashi." Investigators believe Almarashi is an alias for a Queens, N.Y., doctor stripped of her medical license in 1999. She is awaiting trial on multiple charges after allegedly writing bogus prescriptions for thousands of online customers she never examined. [74]

Hairston denied any connection, stating "Not one time have I taken steroids or anything like that. [ . . .] I would never do anything like that to jeopardize my career or my family's name." [75] [76] He further responded, saying that "I’ve tested in the offseason, tested in spring training, tested during the season, and never tested positive." [77]

On December 13, 2007, he was cited in the Mitchell Report to the Commissioner of Baseball of an Independent Investigation Into the Illegal Use of Steroids and Other Performance Enhancing Substances by Players in Major League Baseball. [78]

Personal life

Hairston is Black and Mexican. [79] His family is descended from the slaves of the wealthy Hairston family that owned plantations throughout the United States South. [11]

Jerry's brother Scott Hairston is also a professional baseball player. Their father Jerry Hairston Sr., uncle Johnny Hairston, and grandfather Sam Hairston were also major league players. [80] Several other members of his family played in the minors. [81] Hairston became a Jehovah's Witness in July 2000. [82]
