"Back in November 2003, when I was 21 years old, I made an enormous mistake in my life: I took steroids while in the Minor Leagues. My thigh muscle, which I had previously torn, had never healed and I was scared that my career was over. I was desperate and made a terrible mistake, which I deeply regret.

"In May 2004, I was punished and suspended, which I deserved, for my mistake. I embarrassed myself, my family and my team. I am responsible for the mistake of taking steroids and the positive result was not due to some over-the-counter supplement, protein shake or tainted test.

"I promised never to make the same mistake again. The arbitration panel found that the evidence supports that I have not used steroids since the 2003 offseason."

Morse's Statement

This is and odd response to a suspension I dont know what to think of it.

I hope it is only what he did in 2003. Didn't the doctor say that the amount that was in him could no way be enhancing his performance now?
