Mark McGwire was emotional and regretful as he sat in the visitors dugout at Busch Stadium on Monday night after Major League Baseball suspended 13 players, including Alex Rodriguez, for using performance-enhancing drugs. "I wish I was never a part of it," McGwire said. "Just get rid of it. If it's better to have bigger suspensions, then they're going to have to change it." McGwire was one of the most prominent figures of baseball's steroids era and has admitted he used steroids when he broke baseball's home run record in 1998. "I wish there were things in place earlier," McGwire said. "They were put in in 2003 I think. I just really hope and pray that this is the end of it. Everybody, especially the players, don't want any more part of it, and I hope this is the end of it. ... I wish I was never part of it." McGwire finally admitted to using steroids in 2010 before he became the hitting coach of the St. Louis Cardinals. He took over as the Los Angeles Dodgers' hitting coach this season and said he has talked to players over the years about the harm that performance-enhancing drugs can cause. "It's not worth it at all," McGwire said. Source: ESPN LA
Easy for you to say now that you've succeeded that you wish you were never a part of it. Screw you, buddy.
Not worth it, eh? Give back all the money you made on the juice as part of your penance & maybe someone'll start listening to your 'regret'...
