I am a cheater and I am not man enough to admit it even when I got caught. But I want kids to look up to me and I deserve to be in the Hall of Fame because I only "experimented" for three years and have been clean since. I did because I was young and naive...because I didn't get to go to college...because I entered the league at 18...because my cousin made me do it...because it was the culture...because everyone was doing it...it wasn't illegal then...but remember I didn't know what it was and I don't think we did it right anyway and I'm not really sure what the results were but I took it 36 times over 3 years until my agent told me I maybe could have tested positive and besides it's just an over-the-counter medicine in the Dominican Republic...whose economy runs in part because of its other baseball cheaters like Sammy Sosa. And, by the way, I'm hoping you can't count because I was 26, 27 and 28 when I "experimented" with something I wasn't sure what it was and only did because I was young and naive and entered the league at 18.

ps. Nobody can punish me and I'm laughing all the way to the bank to collect my $500M baseball career.
