Bud Selig Steroids Quotations

Yes, we caught quite a bit of heat. But in the end, the only thing that really matters is how did it end? And we ended up with the toughest steroids program in American sports.

I am saddened by the recent announcements of violations of baseball's drug program. There exists some doubt in the public sector about our sincerity in eliminating steroids from the game. That is wrong. We must create an understanding everywhere that when we say we need to rid the game of steroids, we mean it.

I have one objective in all of this, and I've told Don this a lot, and I've told everybody else, and I told the owners last week: My job is to rid this sport of steroids and rid any suspicion,

I realized that baseball could expand the fulfillment of its social responsibility and help lead the fight against the abuse of steroids among our youth.

The intensity that I feel about this issue is greater today than it has ever been and the time is past due for the Players Association to accept my proposal to eliminate steroids and other performance-enhancing substances from our game.
