I'm very comfortable telling you today that my program will rid the sport of steroids. I spent a lot of time talking to trainers, doctors, general managers, managers, players. I've devoted my life to this now.
I think this was much more specific. The specificity of these charges said it was time to have an investigation.
I will review all of the material that is relative in every way. At some point in time I'll have further comment, but until that point in time I will have no further comment.

If a player has a physical problem, I understand.
You know, not that I'm not sensitive about it. Last year when we had the congressional hearings on March 17, people said there's a dark cloud hanging over the game. Turns out last year may have been the greatest year in our history in terms of attendance and everything else.
