The New York Post reported that Brian McNamee, 34 was questioned about an Oct. 6 incident where a hotel manager reported that he had seen him in the pool, apparently having sex with a woman. In addition to the incident, detectives looked into how the woman ingested gamma hydroxybutyrate, or GHB which is also called the "date-rape" drug. Brian McNamee was not only a former NY police officer, but at the time a Yankees fitness coach.
