A longtime friend and business partner is suing Dykstra in Ventura County, seeking to regain an interest in their lucrative Southern California car wash business. In the suit, Lindsay Jones, 42, of Irvine, alleges that Dykstra advised him to bet thousands of dollars with a bookmaker on selected Phillie games in 1993.
Jones said in a sworn statement that his baseball wagers were a form of payment to him, made 'on the basis that Lenny would cover all losses, and I would use the winnings to live on.' . . .
The suit includes a sworn declaration from a Florida bodybuilder -- a convicted drug dealer -- who said Dykstra paid him $20,000 plus 'special perks' during their eight-year association to 'bulk up' the once-slight ballplayer. In an interview, Jeff Scott said he injected Dykstra with steroids 'more times than I can count,' and that Dykstra stepped up his steroid use in spring training of 1993 because 'it was a contract year.'
Yeah, me neither.
