MitchThe$nitch 159 Posted January 11, 2010 http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/mcgwire-i-used-steroids/article1427349/ Mark McGwire finally came clean Monday, admitting he used steroids when he broke baseball's home run record in 1998. McGwire said in a statement sent to The Associated Press on Monday that he used steroids on and off for nearly a decade. “I wish I had never touched steroids,” McGwire said in a statement. “It was foolish and it was a mistake. I truly apologize. Looking back, I wish I had never played during the steroid era.” McGwire also used human growth hormone, a person close to McGwire said, speaking on condition of anonymity because McGwire didn't include that detail in his statement. McGwire's decision to admit using steroids was prompted by his decision to become hitting coach of the St. Louis Cardinals, his final big league team. Tony La Russa, McGwire's manager in Oakland and St. Louis, has been among McGwire's biggest supporters and thinks returning to the field can restore the former slugger's reputation. “I never knew when, but I always knew this day would come,” McGwire said. “It's time for me to talk about the past and to confirm what people have suspected.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwampFightOner 710 Posted January 11, 2010 WHO FUCKING CARES?! You know what has ruined baseball for alot of people, myself included? It wasn't steroids, it was the fucking giant ordeal that they made steroids out to be. Congressional hearings? Are you fucking kidding me? Who gives a flying fuck if an athlete is using steroids, let them fuck their bodies up and hit home runs The "purity of the game" can suck my dick 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MitchThe$nitch 159 Posted January 11, 2010 I care, I guess only because he, LaRusa and all those other shit heads were so defiant about denying it. McGwire seemed like kind of a douche. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
