In addition, the former aide to Ortiz openly discussed his own steroid use, according to Remy. That salaried personal assistant, Felix Leopoldo Marquez Galice, is a Dominican currently facing possible deportation for covering up his illegal status by using the name of a Puerto Rican man serving prison time for a drug offense.
Remy and Marquez - known by the nickname “Monga’’ - often chatted during their workouts at the Gold’s Gym on Lansdowne Street, and sometimes spotted each other while weightlifting, Remy said.
“He admitted taking steroids. We had conversations about steroids,’’ said Remy.
“We’d talk, ‘This one works for that. This one makes you bulky. This one makes you harder,’ ’’ Remy recalled.
