Mark McGwire has finally come clean about steroid use during his baseball career. He says he used steroids on and off in the 1990s, even while breaking the home run record.
Mark McGwire got emotional as he admitted to using steroids throughout his career. However, he insists he could still have broken Roger Maris' single season record.
Former home run king Mark McGwire admitted that he took steroids and human growth hormone during his playing days. He spoke to the AP about the admission.
Associated Press sports writer Ron Blum discusses his interview with Mark McGwire in which the former baseball slugger admits using steroids when he broke baseball's single-season home run record in 1998.
Rich Hofman, who coached Alex Rodriguez in high school, says he's confident the star will emerge from the steroid scandal and will work to become an even better player.
Alex Rodriguez admitted Monday that he used performance-enhancing drugs from 2001-03, saying he did so because of the pressures of being baseball's highest-paid player.

In 2003, when he won the American League home run title and the AL Most Valuable Player award as a shortstop for the Texas Rangers, Alex Rodriguez tested positive for two anabolic steroids, four sources have independently told Sports Illustrated.
Rodriguez's name appears on a list of 104 players who tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in Major League Baseball's '03 survey testing, SI's sources say. As part of a joint agreement with the MLB Players Association, the testing was conducted to determine if it was necessary to impose mandatory random drug testing across the major leagues in 2004.
When approached by an SI reporter on Thursday at a gym in Miami, Rodriguez declined to discuss his 2003 test results. "You'll have to talk to the union," said Rodriguez, the Yankees' third baseman since his trade to New York in February 2004. When asked if there was an explanation for his positive test, he said, "I'm not saying anything."
Phone messages left by SI for players' union executive director Donald Fehr were not returned.

A federal judge plans to unseal hundreds of pages of court documents at the heart of the government's case against Barry Bonds. He's accused of lying to a grand jury about using performance-enhancing drugs.
NEW YORK (AFP) — A book written by the estranged younger brother of disgraced former baseball hero Mark McGwire says the record-setting slugger took steroids, the website www.deadspin.com reported Thursday.
Jay McGwire claimed in the as-yet-unpublished memoir that he was the reason that McGwire became involved in performance-enhancing drugs.
"Mark is a man I think most would like to forgive because his reason wasn't nefarious. It was for survival," Jay McGwire wrote.
Mark McGwire, a retired standout for the St. Louis Cardinals and Oakland A's, hit 70 home runs in the 1998 season to shatter the one-season Major League Baseball record of 61 by Roger Maris in 1961, among the most hallowed US baseball marks.
But the glory of the time turned sour with doping accusations.

The NY Daily News is citing unnamed sources in a report that says a confessed drug supplier has provided the Justice Department with documents that allegedly show he sent Roger Clemens two kits of human growth hormone.
Kirk Radomski was sentenced to five years of probation in February after cooperating with federal officials. The Daily News says sources close to the government's investigation of Clemens disclosed Radomski has forwarded shipping receipts for HGH he sent to Clemens' Houston home, in late 2002 or 2003.
Clemens is being investigated for perjury after testifying to Congress that he never used steroids or HGH. Clemens attorney Rusty Hardin told the Daily News he hasn't been informed of any drug-related receipts and added, "I can't imagine that there's any truth to that at all . . . We'll find out one day Roger never received or took the stuff."
The newspaper said Matthew Parrella, an Assistant U.S. Attorney from San Francisco who's involved in the investigation, declined comment.
