Newly signed Washington Nationals catcher Paul Lo Duca has been named by former Sen. George Mitchell in his just-released report on the use of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball.

According to the Mitchell Report, former Mets clubhouse employee Kirk Radomski estimated he "engaged in six or more transactions with Lo Duca" while Lo Duca played for the Dodgers and Marlins and received three checks from Lo Duca for shipments of human growth hormone.

Lo Duca just signed a one-year, $5 million contract with the Nationals on Tuesday.

Former Nationals players who have been named in the Mitchell Report in connection with Radomski include outfielder Nook Logan (who was not tendered a contract by the Nationals on Wednesday), outfielder Jose Guillen (who played for the Nationals in 2005 and 2006), reliever Mike Stanton (who pitched for the Nationals in 2005 and 2006) and catcher Gary Bennett (who played for the Nationals in 2005).

Nationals officials said earlier this afternoon they would not be commenting today on the report findings, but a club spokesman said later that team president Stan Kasten would be issuing a statement early this evening.
