Every time I've tried to help a woman, I've been incarcerated. I've learned my lesson. I'm not doing it again.
Do I believe steroids and growth hormones helped me achieve that? Yes. Were there a lot of other players doing it that I had to compete against? Yes.
We spoke about it quite in depth. And-you know when I op-when-when I rejoined the team back in '97, we'd be working out-talking about it. You know we'd go into clubhouses and do steroids. Bottom line.
Spend a Day with Canseco on the Hill.
They're taking decent steps. They're going to get rid of steroids little by little. The answer is not having Bud Selig do his own private witch hunt.
I support the truth, that is all there is to it. And if you fall in that category of the truth, you are supported by the truth.
He is incredible. No one can even stand in his shoes - not Babe Ruth, not anyone. He's in a league of his own.
Because I tried to everything possible to become the best player in the world? Do I believe steroids and growth hormones helped me achieve that? Yes. Were there a lot of other players doing it that I had to compete against? Yes.
I'm completely impressed by how many people he knows,

If I signed it that is the way it really happened. I don't know of any individuals who are saying anything different. I have no idea what is going on with that.
I cannot bet my life on it, because I was not involved, that Alex Rodriguez ever used steroids. But in my opinion, I suspect he has, yes.
And I was alone there. The most miserable time I've ever had -- the most depressed I've ever been -- was in that house.
An athlete-an athlete may prepare his needle and may ask another athlete to inject him quickly. And that's the way it works.
