I think people are now realizing, or starting to realize, that every word, more or less, I said in the book is the absolute truth,
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.
I thought he had some good qualities. He liked animals, which was good because I grew up on a farm.
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.
Well, it's a true statement. No ifs and buts about it,
I injected him probably twice. But it wasn't like-I mean we would just walk in and-a lot of times they were pill form. A lot of times, you know, you would just-a quick injection of whatever and that's it.
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.
Tony La Russa was quoted as saying that I was using steroids back then, and I was talking about it in the clubhouse, openly.
Did I put them in contact with the people to acquire them? Yes. Did I educate them on how to use them properly, and what way, shape, or form, and when, and with what supplements? Yes. Absolutely.
There could be a metabolite from the past. No one really knows how long steroids last in your actual system.

You get them-anywhere. It's-you can go right here to the corner gym and get it. It's that simple. It's that easy. But-obviously, I don't recommend using them or getting them without supervision, or a prescription, because they are illegal.
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 stand 100 percent by the truth, exactly what happened.
