Performance-enhancing drugs are an illusion. I wish I had never gotten involved with steroids. It was wrong. It was stupid.
From Mark McGwire
I had good years when I took steroids, and I had bad years when I took steroids. But no matter what, I shouldn't have done it, and for that, I'm truly sorry.
The only reason I took steroids was for my health purposes. I did not take steroids to get any gain for any strength purposes.
I'm sure people will wonder if I could have hit all those home runs had I never taken steroids.
I'm not here to discuss the past... I'm here to be positive.
My message is that steroids is bad. Don't do them. It's a bad message.
I have had to tell my son, my parents, my friends that I used steroids. It's been very hard. It's been very difficult.
You don't know that you'll ever have to talk about the skeleton in your closet.
I study pitchers. I visualize pitches. That gives me a better chance every time I step into the box. That doesn't mean I'm going to get a hit every game, but that's one of the reasons I've come a long way as a hitter.
I've been thinking about the record since I reached the fifty plateau. But you think about it and then you let it go because you can't waste many brain cells on hours thinking about it.
