"And I did take a banned substance and, you know, for that I'm very sorry and deeply regretful.

I'm sorry for my fans in Texas. It wasn't until then that I ever thought about substance of any kind, and since then I've proved to myself and to everyone that I don't need any of that."

Wow. Quite the commentary from Mr. Alex Rodriguez. No lawyers...no publicist...he just flat out admitted it.

It's kind of refreshing really...sometimes you just have to fess up to stuff as a man when the evidence finally bites you. A-Rod is no fool. He had no place to hide. The facts were there about his usage. The statements that he made were very open...
