I know what I did, ... I admitted it and I was punished. I was a man about it and I dealt with it. But now I feel like someone who committed a crime and did the time and suddenly gets a phone call two years later he has to go back to jail. It's not fair.

I want to apologize to the fans, my teammates, the Mariners organization, baseball and to my family,

They say it's a training platform, but it's more of a fishing platform,

Even the panel states in its written decision that,

I find it unfair that I am being punished three different times for making the mistake of taking steroids once in 2003,

I am troubled that I will be suspended for the third time despite the fact that the scientific evidence supports that I kept my promise that I would never use steroids again,

I was shocked to learn that I tested positive again for steroids,

made an enormous mistake in my life: I took steroids while in the minor leagues.

When it (the crane) moves, the whole platform moves. It's kind of scary,

Having another creature absolutely committed to me is a big boost to my ego, makes me feel like the king of my castle. But its no way for a dog to live.
