[edit] Biography

Chad Allen (John Chad Allen) was born on February 6, 1975 in Dallas, Texas. He made his Major League debut on April 6, 1999 for the Minnesota Twins. In 1999, his rookie year, he hit .277 with 10 home runs and 46 RBI. Allen played for the Minnesota Twins, Cleveland Indians, Florida Marlins and Texas Rangers over the course of his 7 year career.

Most people believe that Chad Allen's best season was 1999, when he hit for a .277 average.

[edit] Mitchell Report

Allen was one of many baseball players mentioned in the Mitchell Report. In 2001, Allen tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee while playing for the Minnesota Twins. After the injury and subsequent knee surgery, Allen's right leg was weakened and atrophied.

In the summer of 2003, Allen discussed this problem with Chris Donnels, who was a teammate at Albuquerque. Donnels described the benefits of using Winstrol and mentioned Kirk Radomski. Allen called Radomski at a phone number provided by Donnels. When Allen called Radomski and described his knee problem, Radomski told him that Winstrol was the best drug for him to take because it would strengthen his joints and build up muscles and ligaments in his leg. Allen recalled obtaining the Winstrol in October after the season was over; he was adamant that he never took steroids during the season. According to Allen, the 2003 off-season was the only occasion when he used steroids. Allen explained that he did not want his teammates to know that he used steroids, and he did not want to use anything during the season because he "did not want to be on a different playing field from his teammates." He also was concerned about testing positive.

Radomski warned him to stop using the steroids by January 15 to avoid testing positive, and Allen recalled stopping his use well before that date. Allen said that the Winstrol, together with diligent exercise, had a noticeable effect on him. However, the effects of the Winstrol did not last long.
