Thank you all for coming today.
Over the weekend, it was brought to light that I tested positive for steroids in the past. These allegations are true. I have indeed used steroids. In the summer of 1998, I was doing yardwork, clearing some brush away from plants, and foolishly forgot to use some arm protection. In short order, I had a very bad case of poison ivy up both of my arms. For the next month, I was on a steroid regiment. I'm not proud of this act, but I felt it necessary at the time in order to perform. I hope I haven't tarnished my status to my many fans.
