It's a tough road for him to travel, but if anyone can travel it, he can. He anticipates he's going to do what he has to do to get it fixed.
It's like talking to your son, ... What do you tell him? I don't know.
It sounded like it was swift, but really in actuality it was talked about probably before that. People had anticipated something like that might happen. I think sometimes it looks that way, but sometimes that's best for the organization and the player so both parties can move on.
It's my decision to make certain decisions, and I'm going to make them and I'll live by them, OK?
A lot of times when you're playing, ... your adrenaline is running so much, you get nicked and you just play. If something's wrong, you wake up sore the next morning and find out.

It's a performance-based business, and it's hard for a player to all of a sudden think that something he's buying over the counter could be banned and affect his ability to play and get the job done, ... It's up to the individual player to either say, 'You know what? I'm not doing it,' or 'I'm going to take a chance. If they test me, I won't be one of the guys that it shows up on.'
