The steroids I did were on a very, very low dosage. I didn't want to take a lot of that. I didn't want to look like Arnold Schwartzenegger or Lou Ferrigno.
I have had to tell my son, my parents, my friends that I used steroids. It's been very hard. It's been very difficult.
I'm sure people will wonder if I could have hit all those home runs had I never taken steroids.
I remember trying steroids very briefly in the 1989 -1990 off season, and then after I was injured in 1993, I used steroids again.
I had good years when I took steroids, and I had bad years when I took steroids. But no matter what, I shouldn't have done it, and for that, I'm truly sorry.
Once and for all, I did not use steroids or any other illegal substance.
