Mark McGwire comes clean on steroids

MARK McGwire has finally admitted he used steroids when he broke baseball's home run record in 1998.

McGwire said in a statement that he used steroids on and off for nearly a decade. "I wish I had never touched steroids," McGwire said in a statement. "It was foolish and it was a mistake. I truly apologise. Looking back, I wish I had never played during the steroid era."

McGwire's decision to admit using steroids was prompted by his decision to become hitting coach of the St. Louis Cardinals, his final big league team. "I always knew this day would come," McGwire added.
