My Marine experience helped shape who I am now personally and professionally, and I am grateful for that on an almost daily basis.
I have been accused of something I'm not guilty of. How do you prove a negative? No matter what we discuss here today, I'm never going to have my name restored. But I've got to try and set the record straight.
The shouting and opinion and jokes don't exist if there isn't first a story.
I'm not saying Senator Mitchell's report is entirely wrong. I am saying Brian McNamee's statements about me are wrong. Let me be clear: I have never taken steroids or HGH.
