I have never used steroids. Period.

I don't think that - you know, I'm sure that there's guys that are doing it, because I'm sure in every sport there's players who want to get the edge. But I think that it's been blown overly - way more than guys are using it in our game.

Let me start by telling you this: I have never used steroids. Period. I don't know how to say it any more clearly than that. Never.

I don't know what else I can say. I have never taken steroids. For people who think I took steroids intentionally, I'm never going to convince them. But I hope the voters judge my career fairly and don't look at one mistake.

I don't know who took what. That is pretty private with an individual.

There's a lot of history in Boston and a lot of history, obviously, in New York with all the championships.

It was a hard time. It was something I would love to erase from my memory.
